Special Speaker: Nash Leggott
The awe of God is a reverent fear and respect, not a cowering fear of punishment. The God we serve loves us deeply and reveals Himself in three powerful ways:
- ✨ Through Creation: The heavens and the sky declare His glory and handiwork. The sun, moon, and the natural world reflect God's all-knowing nature and creative power. This revelation is so overwhelming that even if humanity were silent, "the stones would cry out" (Luke 19:40).
- 📖 Through His Word: David speaks of the Torah — the Word of God — as a treasure: perfect, reviving the soul, making the simple wise, rejoicing the heart, enlightening the eyes, and enduring forever. Believers today receive the entire Bible as a precious gift. Obedience is not a requirement for salvation but a grateful response to the grace offered through Jesus. God's Word is to be desired more than gold or any modern idols — be it phones, careers, or status.
- ✝️ Through His New Creation (Believers): In Christ, we are made a "new creation" (2 Corinthians 5:17). Baptism symbolizes this transformation, where the old self dies and a new life in Christ begins. Jesus, our perfect example, leads us in obedience. Christians are called to confess both known and hidden sins — not out of fear, but out of a desire for cleansing, healing, and freedom from sin's grip. The Christian life is communal: God gives us the church to pray for one another, support each other, and boldly proclaim truth to the world.
🤝 God meets us where we are, with open arms, and calls us His children.
"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
Let us daily pray:
"May the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, our Rock and Redeemer."
And may our hearts love God's Word and yearn to become more like Christ, for the glory of His Kingdom.
