Preaching Topics: Fred endeavors to make the Bible applicable to the average Christian today. These are difficult days and knowing that God is sovereign and in control helps develop a godly fear that all Christians need as we move through this life. We should fear God more than the world’s system and what it can do to us.

The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death (Proverbs 14:27)
The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate (Proverbs 8:13)
By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil (Proverbs 16:6)
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding (Proverbs 9:10)
