Either/Or
“Mine/Your”
2 Timothy 3:16-17
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “LORD, who has believed our report?” So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Romans 10:16-17
Scripture Alone
Sola Scriptura
We believe…
…the Bible is the inspired word of God and the final authority in life and doctrine, a lamp to our feet and light to our path (II Timothy 3:16).
“There is a difference between learning about the Bible and living as a disciple of Jesus Christ. We are not saved by our knowledge, our beliefs, or our worship in the church; just as we are not saved by our actions or our religion. We are saved by the anguish and love of God, and to live according to that truth is to have faith.”
-John Westerhoff III Will Our Children Have Faith?
Four Levels of Faith Development
Experienced Faith
Affiliative Faith
Searching Faith
Owned Faith
“I am bound by the Scriptures I have quoted, and my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not recant anything, since it is neither safe nor right to go against conscience. Here I stand; I cannot do otherwise. May God help me. Amen.”
-Martin Luther Diet of Worms
‘It we do not love God and His Word what difference does it make if we love anything at all?”
Do you love the Word of God?
But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
2 Timothy 3:14-15
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
The Bible is alive, it speaks to me; it has feet, it runs after me; it has hands, it lays hold of me.
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
Benediction
The Bible isn’t one more resource book from which we pick and choose a few good ideas in the relentless task of constructing a life we’ll like. Nor is it an answer book, a science book, or a rulebook. When questions in life emerge, we don’t search the Bible for ready-made solutions. If you try that, you will find that the Bible is asking more questions than it is answering. And the most important question it’s asking is, “Do you want salvation through faith in Christ Jesus? Do you want an owned faith that will take you all the way home?”
