We’ve begun a 10-week study of the doctrine of our church. Our study will examine what we believe are the most central and essential doctrines of the Christian faith. This first week we’ll study the Doctrine of Scripture. Read our doctrine below and answer the questions that follow.
We believe God has revealed the truth about Himself in the inerrant Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. They hold the complete revelation of His will for salvation, and are the ultimate authority by which all human endeavors should be judged.
1.Why is doctrine important to an individual believer and the community of believers?
2. As you read the statement on Scripture, what resonates most deeply?
Read the following passages of Scripture, Hebrews 4.12; 1 John 1.1-5, 14; 2 Timothy 3.14-17; Psalm 1.1-6 and answer the questions that follow:
3. In what ways do you experience Scripture as “living and active”?
4. What’s the importance of Jesus being the Word?
5. How did God divinely inspire His living Word?
6. In Psalm 1, how does the writer differentiate between the blessed ones and the wicked ones?
Read and reflect on your favorite passage of Scripture. Give God praise for His Living Word!
