Understanding The Scriptures Series

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Sep 2, 2019

Obeying the dictates of the Scripture means you first must understand the Scriptures.. A person requires the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to fully understand the deep spiritual truths of the Word.

Biblical Authority has been the sermon series for the last two weeks. We had discussed that the Bible is the Word of God and as such it is God’s revelation of Himself to man.
