Main Idea

The central theme of 'Scripture and Authority in an Age of Skepticism' was the divine inspiration and authority of the Bible amidst growing skepticism and changing moral landscapes. We reflected on how the Bible stands as a unique and powerful document, divinely inspired and preserved through history. Despite societal shifts and the rise of personal moral autonomy, the sermon reaffirmed the Bible's relevance, sufficiency, and transformative power in guiding us towards truth and spiritual formation.

Scripture References

2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Thessalonians 1:6-10, Genesis 1:1, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, 2 Samuel 24:9, 1 Chronicles 21:5, Jonah 1:17-2:1

The Bible's authority comes not from the church's recognition, but from its divine inspiration and the transformative power it holds.

Discussion Questions:

In the face of skepticism, the Bible remains a steadfast source of truth, guiding us through its divinely inspired wisdom.

Summary

In 'Scripture and Authority in an Age of Skepticism,' we explored the challenges and trends affecting our perception of the Bible in today's world. We delved into the increasing skepticism, the rise of a new moral code that rejects external authority, and the impact of digital access on Scripture's relevance. We examined survey results showing varying beliefs about the Bible's holiness, its presence in homes, and the frequency of reading it. The sermon also addressed common objections to the Bible, such as its divine origin, truthfulness, clarity, sufficiency, and goodness.

Call to Action

Some next steps to take this week:

Reflect on how the Bible has influenced your life and consider ways to deepen your engagement with Scripture.
