“Is Scripture infallible?”

CHAIRMAN: ALEC CHENG
SPEAKER: PASTOR IAIN DAVIS
SCRIPTURES: 2 TIMOTHY 3:16-17

Sermon Notes:

- God tells us about who he is through his word

- The authority of Scripture is greater than our experience or our preferences because it comes from God.

- When our values conflict with Scripture, we are not walking in obedience with Christ.

Discussions

1. Do our beliefs come from what we read in the bible?  If not, where do they come from? Philosophy, upbringing, tradition?
2. How do we learn what God expects from us?
