Scripture As God's Spoken Word
- The Bible is best understood as the mouth of God breathed by the Holy Spirit.
- Therefore Scripture merits the same reverence we give to God, though it is not God himself.
Scripture Shapes Christlikeness
- Scripture's chief purpose is to point us to God's Son and shape us into Christlikeness.
- Jesus treasured Scripture to shape obedience, teaching, and daily living by God's word.
Pastor's Challenge About Preaching

- He later realized and observed firsthand that belief in Scripture's authority profoundly affects preaching.
