Psalms 111:10 - the reverential awe for God is the foundation of wisdom.
The reverential awe in one generation is the beginning of wisdom in another generation.

Acts 10 - Cornelius ‘of a horn’
If you are a God fearer - you are strong person.
God fearer’s are devout - to be fully and aggressively take hold of your family life, being generous and always praying.
Generosity flows from the fear of God.
#buildingaltars#greatness
God fearer’s have humility.
Acts 10:25 - it is easy to be humble and broken when we fear God. Cornelius could recognise the representative of God.
#buildingaltars#greatness
God fearer’s are just men.
Acts 10:22 - Cornelius dispenses justice and carries authority.
We must have a good reputation not merely to please others but to fear God.

We can tackle the giant of addiction, the giant of broken relationships, the giant of self-doubt etc.
Giants in the bible were territorial gatekeepers, preventing people from moving to the next level.
We must build a culture of giant slaying.
#tacklinggiants
Every giant in our lives is a territorial gatekeeper.
1 Samuel 17 The story of David and Goliath is grounded in history and theology. It is not just a fable.

Giant stalkers don't just rush into a fight. They study their enemy and gather intelligence. What is the giant protecting? Who is it influencing?
We must gather spiritual intelligence before going into battle.
1 Samuel 17:26
#tacklinggiants
Giant stalkers don't just wound giants, they kill them. David cut off Goliath's head. The stone knocked the giant out. The sword made sure the giant never got up again. The Word of God is our sword. Our victory is not complete until the giants authority is gone.

Gen 22 - Isaac as a son had to posture himself as a lamb on the altar. The son was willing to be burdened for a more noble cause than himself.
What are we living for?
