Purpose of the Bible

June 11, 2012
Understand how the Bible came to be and why God gave it to us. All of Scripture has four main purposes… and they all point to Jesus.  Those four purposes are; (1) To present Jesus Christ as the Savior and Redeemer of the world (2) To provide for us the historical context in which Jesus came (3) To lead the unbeliever into faith in Jesus and (4) To show believers how God wants us to live.

Read how God gives hope in the face of persecution!
Read about courageous men and women whose faith is flourishing in the face of ISIS and other terrorists. You’ll weep at believers’ suffering and losses . . . and laugh at the creative audacity of indigenous church planters who just won’t take “no” for an answer, whether in the former Soviet Union, in corners of India where Hindu extremists are burning churches, in communist holdouts in other parts of Asia, or in challenging places in Africa and Latin America.

We begin a journey through the Holy Bible, a systematic yet practical study through all 66 books, from Genesis – Revelation. We will learn about the inspiration of God’s Word that was penned by some 40 men, from all walks of life, over a period of about 1,500 years.  The truths we find can correct us, lead us in the right paths, and equip us for every good work when we are willing to obey.Download the Free study booklet HERE

At the end of the Sermon on the Mount Jesus asks, “Are you going to be part of the problem--a false disciple, or part of the solution--a true disciple?” “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father…” Jesus was a realist. He taught that in life we all have storms. What kind of disciple you are determines whether or not you will survive the storms.At the end of the Sermon on the Mount Jesus asks, “Are you going to be part of the problem--a false disciple, or part of the solution--a true disciple?” “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father…” Jesus was a realist.

Jesus called His disciples to be passionate for God. Jesus used continuous verbs for “asking, seeking, and knocking,” in order to challenge His disciples to look up continuously and with perseverance. Seeking is repeated and intense asking, and knocking is repeated and intense seeking. He promised that everyone who asks, seeks, and knocks in this way will be answered. Then Jesus summed up His ethical teaching with the Golden Rule: “Do to others what you would have them do to you.”  Download the Free study booklet HERE

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged” Jesus taught His disciples to look around, apply those blessed attitudes to their relationships, and then to look upward and receive from God the spiritual disciplines and values they needed to continue being fruitful disciples. The thrust of this teaching is that disciples of Jesus must deal with their personal problems before they can help others with theirs. Download the Free study booklet HERE

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life . . . But seek first His kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” This passage addresses anxiety, but at its core it is really teaching about our priorities. When we worry, we are showing what we value and how much we trust God to care for us. When God is our true priority, other values will hold the proper place in our hearts.

Disciples who have the right attitudes within them are living with the right values. Their priorities are based on eternity and not on earthly treasures. That is why disciples can have a salt and light influence in the world. According to Jesus, we can know what our values are by what we do with our time, what we think about, what anxieties and ambitions we have, and what we serve, because we cannot serve both God and money.
