A Sermon On The Bible - Jesus Over Everything - Joey McLaughlin


Listen Later

We are people of the Book.


Our understanding of God, life, sex, truth, family, philosophy, politics, marriage, and humanity is not shaped primarily by experience, tradition, popular opinion, culture, or what we're comfortable with.


Our understanding of God is shaped first and foremost by the word of God. It is our first source, final authority, the greatest love story ever written, and we really believe it's true.


We are people of a book not just because of the evidence and reliability of the scriptures, the reason that we are people of a book, ultimately, is because Jesus was a person of the book.


Some people today invent this form of Christianity where they're really into Jesus, but not so into the Bible. "I love Jesus, I love self-help Jesus, I love justice Jesus, I love humanitarian Jesus, I love empowering Jesus, I love forgiving Jesus. I love hippie Jesus, but not really into the Bible." This is a big problem because Jesus was all about the Bible!


16 For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 For when he received honor and glory from God the Father, and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son,[a] with whom I am well pleased,” 18 we ourselves heard this very voice borne from heaven, for we were with him on the holy mountain. 19 And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, 20 knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation. 21 For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

2 Peter 1:16-21
