What happens when God’s presence gets too real? In Exodus 20:18 –21:32 , Israel trembles at the mountain—lightning, thunder, and smoke fill the air. But Moses draws near.

In this message, Pastor Nick Wyss of Fervent Church unpacks what holy fear really means and why it’s not meant to drive us away from God but draw us closer to Him. Discover how a proper fear of the Lord leads to authentic worship, just relationships, and personal responsibility in everyday life.

From the “altar of earth” to God’s call for justice and mercy, this passage reminds us that His holiness still shapes how we live today. 

Listen and Learn:

• The difference between panic-fear and reverent-fear
• Why God cares about both worship and justice
• How the cross fulfills the fear, fire, and justice of Sinai
