The Word of the Lord: Week 4
Sermon begins at about 15 minutes
Pastor Andrew continues a sermon series called, “The Word of the Lord”. The primary goal of this series is that we all would come to know God’s personal words for our lives through the practice of meditating on well known Bible passages. For week 4 the focus is on the authority of Scripture. Pastor Judd opens by leading us in a time of confession. Terri Gotta shares a scripture reading as the sermon begins.

Sermon Slide Notes:
The Scripture of the Lord:
We are to give the Bible authority in our lives so that we can know Jesus and the life He
offers us.
Application:
Meditate on Scripture daily
Memorize weekly/monthly
Make Bible intake a priority in your life
2 Timothy 3:14-4:3
Highest authority isn’t what we want, what we think we need, what we are feeling. Highest
authority is the Lord who communicates through the Scripture for our good.
John 5:37-40
Knowing the Bible really well for information and inspiration isn’t the point. The Bible by God’s
Spirit puts us connects us to Jesus who gives us life.
Luke 24:25–27
Luke 24:30-32
Luke 24:44-49
Jesus by the Spirit opens the Scriptures to us so we can see and know him clearly and our
hearts can come alive.
