     | 2,643 views

    The Scriptures are the inspired, authentic self-revelation of God and as such have primary and foundational authority in all matters of what we believe, what we value, and how we live.

    Last week we focused on the purpose of the Scriptures: what are they for and why should we bother getting ourselves acquainted with them? We learned the Bible is God’s self-revelation that pulls back the curtain for us to know who God is, who we are, the purpose of our lives, and the destiny of the ...read more

    Luke says we're to be "servants" of the Word, not be critics of it or think we're over it. WHY? Because the Word of God is Divine/Eternal, because it's superior to us, and because it is the final authority. The Bible is the embodiment of knowledge and truth.

    SERVANTS OF THE WORD Luke 1:1-4 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: PEOPLE THINK THEY KNOW THE BIBLE 1. Did you hear the story about the lady who was talking to her friend and brought up the Bible. Her friend said, “Oh don’t start trying to tell to me about the Bible; my parents had me read it every day. I’m ...read more

    Myths are powerful. But should we use them?

    Not a Cunningly Devised Fable 2 Peter 1:16-21 Myths and legends can be powerful teachers of morality. This is why they have been used from time immemorial.

    Sometimes when someone surprises a person they haven't seen in a while they exclaim, "Wow, I can't believe it! Here you are, in the flesh." That's what happened that first Christmas. Let's look at the wonder of God coming down to us in the flesh.

    IN THE FLESH John 1:14 Sometimes when someone surprises a person they haven't seen in a while they exclaim, "Wow, I can't believe it! Here you are, in the flesh." They may have kept in contact in other ways but now they are standing right there in front of you. That's what ...read more
