Fear of God

Pastor Jeff Reinhart · May 18, 2026

Drawing from Ecclesiastes 12, Pastor Jeff Reinhart warns that life moves faster than we realize, and if we keep postponing a wholehearted pursuit of God, we will drift into bitterness rather than growing better. The remedy is to 'remember' God — not merely to think about Him, but to pay attention to Him with the intention of obeying. Practically, this means developing a healthy fear of God (beholding Him for who He truly is), learning to obey Him by trusting His love rather than trying to earn it, and genuinely knowing Him as Lord and Savior so that our time, talent, treasure, and testimony are invested in His eternal kingdom.

True patience is not something we manufacture through sheer willpower; it is the fruit of an inner life rooted in God. Through contrasting King Saul, whose impatience sprang from the fear of man and self-serving ambition, with King David, whose patience flowed from the fear of God and a heart devoted to serving Him, Pastor Caleb shows that you and I have the capacity to become genuinely patient people — not by trying harder, but by surrendering more deeply to the transforming work of the Holy Spirit through silence, Scripture, and community.

Following God courageously does not mean the path gets easier; it means opposition intensifies. Drawing from Nehemiah 4–6, this sermon argues that a resolute soul — one that is firmly determined and fixed on a single God-given purpose — is the essential condition for enduring faith. Three predictable waves of attack will come: external opposition meant to discourage, internal conflict meant to divide, and personal attacks meant to disqualify. The answer to each is to keep building while battling, to fear God more than circumstances, and to remember the courageous love of Jesus, who went to the cross so we could come home.
