📖 Psalm 119:113–120 – Walk in the Fear of the Lord
🎙️ Sermon by Pastor John Dean | Foundation Baptist Church | Euless, TX
📅 February 2026

In this urgent and deeply pastoral sermon from Psalm 119:113–120, Pastor John Dean calls believers to take a sober look at how they are living with the time God has given them. Life is short, judgment is certain, and Christ alone is our refuge. This message presses the listener to abandon divided loyalties and to live with a reverent, trembling fear before the living God.

Speaking with the weight of experience and the clarity of Scripture, Pastor John urges both believers and unbelievers to consider eternity and respond rightly to God’s Word.

🔍 Main points from the sermon:

1️⃣ Be Single-Minded, Not Double-Minded
Drawing from verse 113, Pastor John exposes the danger of a divided mind—one torn between the flesh and the Spirit. Vain thoughts, lingering sin, and worldly distractions pull the heart away from Christ and weaken obedience. Like the psalmist, believers are called to hate double-mindedness and love God’s law. This point emphasizes that Christ alone upholds His people, that God’s Word is our hiding place and shield, and that Christians must actively separate themselves from influences that draw them away from holiness.

2️⃣ Walk in the Fear of the Lord
From verse 120, the sermon confronts the modern loss of the fear of God. Pastor John reminds the church that God is not only loving and merciful but also holy, righteous, and just. A true fear of the Lord guards against sin, fuels obedience, and keeps the believer focused on eternity rather than the approval of man. This fear is not terror without hope, but reverent awe rooted in the reality of God’s coming judgment and the saving work of Christ on the cross.

Throughout the sermon, listeners are reminded that time is precious, judgment is real, and salvation is found only in Jesus Christ. The message ends with a heartfelt call to repentance, faith, and wholehearted devotion to the Lord.

“My flesh trembles for fear of you, and I am afraid of your judgments.” (Psalm 119:120)
