CALVARY CHURCH WEEKLY NEWS |
|
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2021 |
|
At Calvary, we are committed to preaching and teaching the Bible as the living Word of God. Jesus said that God’s Word is truth (John 17:17). Not only does the Bible contain truth, it is absolute truth. Therefore it must be the supreme and ultimate authority in our personal lives and the life of Calvary Church.
All of us have different experiences, hold varying viewpoints and opinions, come from different cultures, and respond differently to the varying circumstances of life. However, what unites us at Calvary is our common commitment to the Bible as the living Word of God.
On Sunday, I will preach a foundational message, “God’s Word Is Alive.” Before we examine the teaching of Jesus on marriage, divorce, homosexuality, and transgenderism, it is essential we understand that our lives are to be based not on the surrounding culture, not on our individual experiences or feelings, but on God’s truth. “The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever” (Isaiah 40:8).

“For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” — Hebrews 4:12
