Our world favors the powerful and the wealthy, but the Bible over and over again tells us that God’s favor rests upon the powerless, the poor, and those desperate for the life only found in Him. Whatever your situation is today, allow God’s favor to take care of the rest. And our sermon today from Dr. Charles Stanley (The Fear Of God) – If God is love, then why does He command us to fear Him? The fear of the Lord isn’t about being afraid of God; it’s about revering Him above all else. When we do that, we position ourselves to receive all the benefits that come with putting God first in our lives.
