About this episode

Pastor Troy Smothermon discusses the importance of the fear of the Lord and its impact on humility and spiritual growth.

In this Church on the Move Roswell message, Pastor Troy Smothermon explains that believers are meant to reflect Jesus like the dawn reflects the sun so others see God’s beauty. He highlights the church’s outreach efforts, including serving first responders for 23 years, as a reflection of Jesus’ love. Using stories and Scripture, he teaches that the fear of the Lord gives proper perspective of God’s holiness and produces humility—strength under submission—making people teachable, correctable, and positioned for more grace (James 4:6). He contrasts humility with pride, describing pride as defensive, easily offended, and destructive, while humility fosters growth, mercy, forgiveness, and service. The message ends with an invitation to surrender to Jesus in prayer for salvation or renewal.
