The Value of Biblical Authority (1 of 6)
by Michael Romero
The first and most foundational value of our church that we will always embrace is the value of Biblical Authority. Every one of the nine values we embrace would fall apart if this value was to ever disappear. In our logo the first thing we must do is keep focused on Abiding in Christ. It is the first area of our vision because it is the only way that we can be productive, fruit bearing, citizens of the kingdom of God. There are two values included in Abiding in Christ. The first is the value of Biblical Authority and the second is Prayer. Today I want to focus our attention on Biblical Authority. Let me give you a brief definition...
Is the Bible Reliable? (3 of 3)
by Kerry Shook
Well, my kids have talked me into an exercise program where you watch this fitness guru on DVDs explain what he calls 'muscle confusion'. You do different exercises everyday to totally confuse your muscles for maximum results. Now up until that I had been doing my own program. It's a little program I call 'stomach confusion', and I might eat a small salad for lunch and then mix it up with maybe a large pepperoni pizza and half-dozen chocolate doughnuts for dinner. My stomach never knew what was hitting it, but I have to say, I think the stomach must be smarter than your muscles, because it can count the calories still...
Why Believe the Bible? (1 of 7)
by James Merritt
Today we are going to enter into one of the most interesting, fascinating, and perhaps controversial series that we will ever do that we are entitling, ''War of the Worlds''. Actually, you could even call it, ''War of the World Views.'' World views act just like contact lenses; if you've got the correct prescription for contact lenses or for glasses then you can see the world clearly and correctly. A world view should provide the correct prescription for making sense of the world just as wearing the correct prescription for your eyes brings things into focus. As we begin talking about the importance of a world view and how it is going to...
Is the Bible Really True? (3 of 7)
by Jeff Schreve
Well, we've been in a series on Sunday nights entitled, ''Now That's a Tough One: Answering Life's Difficult Questions.'' And we've talked about some difficult questions that people often ask as those questions relate to life and as they relate to God. We asked the question that so many ask, ''Why do bad things happen to good people? And we looked at reasons why bad things happen to good people and how God works through the bad to bring about good. We talked about ''How to know for certain that you're a believer,'' and, ''Can you lose your salvation.'' Lots of people wonder, Can I lose my salvation? We talked...
Is the Bible Really Reliable? (2 of 5)
by Jason Dees
If you were here last week we began a very important sermon series called Q and A where we are taking a lot of the difficult questions that are asked of the church and of Christianity and trying to give answers to them. And giving answer to these questions is important on many levels. First of all if you aren't a believer or maybe are a skeptic or seeker and you have these questions, we want you to come and listen and hopefully grow as a result of this series, But this is very important for the church also, because I want you as a church to be equipped and able to defend your faith and to always be ready to give an answer for the...
Why I Know the Bible Is the Word of God
by Adrian Rogers
Take God's Word please and open to 2 Timothy chapter 3. I was thinking about my own background and my love of the Holy Scriptures. And I was asking myself, Adrian, why do you believe the Bible is the Word of God? And I pondered on that subject. And I said to myself, Well, I believe the Word of God because I was told it was the Word of God. I mean, to begin with. My mama, my daddy told me the Bible was the Word of God. In our home, we just had certain principles. Number one is that you never set another book on top of the Bible, or never set anything else on top of the Bible. Or you never put the Bible on the floor. It...
Can We Be Sure That the Bible Is the Divinely Inspired Word of God? (16 of 18)
by Stan Coffey
You are about to begin an exciting trip through the Bible. I believe you will find it one of the most thrilling experiences of your Christian life. You will learn the major themes of all the books, the key verses, the central messages, what God is saying. You will also learn how each book is organized, how it came into being and its role in the Bible story. Still more, you will learn how to analyze all 66 books, which are the most significant chapters, where to find the central purpose, and which chief verses to copy and remember. Studying God's Word from beginning to end will be a rich blessing and is basic to your knowledge...
Seven Reasons Why I Believe the Bible (9 of 37)
by John Barnett
This evening we begin our new study I'm calling a ''Strategic Grasp of the Bible''. This is one of the greatest studies we could ever share. Why? Because the Bible is the Revelation of all that God wants us to know about everything we need to know. If He hasn't revealed it - either it is a secret or it is unimportant. So the more of God's Word you have a grasp on, the more you know about all that really matters in life. If you would turn with me to John 17.17 we will find the first reason we need God's Word. ''Thy Word is TRUTH''! First, why would we even want to grasp the Bible? I hope it is because you believe that this...
Can We Trust the Bible?
by Miles Seaborn
Indeed, the most important discover we need to make it the discovery of the accuracy and the authenticity of scripture. Because everything we believe, everything we hold true and everything we hold dear is from the Word of God. And as Christians the basis for all authority and all Christian faith and commitment is the teaching of scripture, not the traditions of men. The purpose of this study is to understand what the Bible teaches on these very important subjects. It is things that we happen to believe as Baptists, but this isn't a study on ''Baptist Doctrine.'' This is a study on the Bible and the teachings of scripture. And obviously...
Is the Bible Infallible?
by Jesse Hendley
If you have your Bibles, friends, turn with me, please to the Gospel of John, chapter 10, verse 35. Our subject today is, ''Is the Bible Infallible?'' Is the Bible trustworthy? Is it without error? Is it dependable? We are living in a time when there are attacks from every side on the integrity of the Bible. Attacks by Sinners Sinners are attacking the Bible by their very lives. In the Book of Romans, chapter 1, verse 18, God says that people who live in sin and unrighteousness, ''hold the truth in unrighteousness.'' Literally, they ''hold back, hold down,'' the Truth by their unrighteous living. People who live in sin hold down the Truth......
God's Word (2 of 7)
by Robert Dawson
One of the lessons we had to learn - should have learned - struggled to learn growing up was ''if something is worth doing it is worth doing right. Don't do anything halfway.'' I can't tell you how many times I heard that growing up. I was not exactly a quick study - never have been - especially with things that did not come naturally. Have you noticed you don't have to teach your children how to goof off and shirk responsibility? They learn and perfect that all on their own. So, for me, being a typical kid it was not a lesson I learned quickly - easily - or willingly. I loathed those moments in the yard with dad critiquing my work - you missed...
The Discipline Of Gods Word
by Jimmy Evans
It would be difficult to decide between prayer and study of God's Word as to which one is more important. Both of these disciplines are critical in establishing and maintaining an intimate personal relationship with God. They are the two daily disciplines which provide the foundation- for every other area of our Christian walk. When they are present or weak, then we are vulnerable to defeat and compromise. First Scripture - minister fear than comfort Common denominator of those who fall away - apathy or rejection of God's word - Deut. 6:6-9 - Matt. 4 - II Thess. 2:1-12 - apostacy - in accordance with Satan's activity - all deception...
Power and Authority
by Richard Bradley
Power and authority are two things our world recognizes. At least we recognize it in each other. Our world does have a lot of trouble recognizing God's power and authority. Jesus had no trouble with this and neither did the people of His day once they heard His words and saw the kind of works He was doing. My hope and prayer is that this text will encourage us to give the Lord His due. As His followers we should be recognizing His authority and seeking His power. EVIL IS TERRIFED BY THE LORD'S POWER AND AUTHORITY 33 Once when he was in the synagogue, a man possessed by a demon-an...
The Word Of God
by Adrian Rogers
Would you take the Word of God and turn tonight with me please to Hebrews four and in a moment we're going to look at verse twelve, one of the great, great, great verses of the Word of God. From the great God that Betty just sang about. Oh, Lord, our God how great thou art. Hebrews four, twelve says ''For the Word of God is quick and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.'' We want to pitch our mental thoughts around this wonderful, wonderful verse. The title of our message...
God’s Authority in all of Creation (3 of 4)
by Jason Dees
Every Day there is a War for your soul You will follow after something Either God or something less The battle of the heart If God is in the wrong place then everything else will be in the wrong place. The Majesty of GodThe exclusivity of God The Glory of God - God’s Authority in all of Creation Isaiah 40:18 - 28 Our Scripture Reading for today comes from Isaiah 40:18 - 28 18 To whom then will you liken God, or what likeness compare with him? 19 An idol! A craftsman casts it, and a goldsmith overlays it with gold and casts for it silver chains. 20 He who is too impoverished for an offering chooses wood that...
The Powerful Word of God
by Marvin D. Patterson
We are back in the Book of First Peter tonight, and we are going to examine the powerful Word of God. If you will remember from previous studies, God was planning for our salvation before the foundation of the world. Even though we were born in sin, we were redeemed, or bought back from sin by the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ! Silver and gold will perish, but the blood of Jesus Christ God's Son will cleanse us of all sin! We also saw that our trials and temptations will purify us and build our faith and trust in the Christ! And then we observed that the writers of the Scriptures wrote of the sufferings of Christ...
What the Bible Says about Itself
by Rex Yancey
When we think about world religions and their books we think of Christianity and the Bible, Islam and the Koran, Mormonism and the Book of Mormon, Jehovah's Witnesses and Watchtower, along with other religions and books. There is no contrast between any of these books and the Bible. I was introduced to the Bible in Sunday school, preaching, and Vacation Bible School. We would ''pledge allegiance to the Bible, God's Holy Word. I will make it a lamp unto my feet, a light unto my path, and hide its words in my heart that I might not sin against God.'' I found the Bible to speak to my needs; as a child, teenager...
