1 Samuel 27-29

2 Timothy 3:14-17

Scripture Alone

One of the foundational convictions of the Reformation was the doctrine of Scripture alone. This is the belief that the Scriptures are the highest and only infallible authority in the life of the Christian and the Church. This sermon considers the importance of this doctrine, by looking at what 2 Timothy 3:14-17 teaches about the nature, purpose and focus of Scripture.

Upheld

Psalm 2

Christ our King

Humanity deeply resists God’s rule, believing it to be a form of bondage. In reality, true freedom is found in serving the king God has set in place. There is no escape from the king’s rule. But he has made a way for rebels to become friends and enjoy the blessing of his rule.
