In this message delivered at the Moody Bible Institute President's Chapel, Pastor Daniel Batarseh explores the profound and often misunderstood biblical concept of "The Fear of the Lord."

In this sermon, you will learn: The biblical definition of the fear of the Lord as a treasure and a delight (0:00 - 10:00). How the fear of the Lord serves as a powerful deterrent against sin and a catalyst for personal holiness (10:00 - 20:00).
