Grounded & Growing

God’s written word is fundamental to Christianity. What we believe and how we live are defined by the Bible. We have no starting point for knowing God, for knowing the gospel, or for being equipped for Christian living without what God has made known to us in the sixty-six books of the Bible.

But there’s the question. How did these particular writings become a part of God’s word? Why these writings and not others? How can we know that we have everything God intends for us to have? These are the questions addressed by the doctrine of the canon of Scripture.

Hebrews is unmatched in the New Testament in its manifestation of the glories of Christ. It tells us of His deity and His humanity, of His work as our High Priest and His offering of Himself as our effectual atonement, of His supremeness above all creation and all created things. From the outset, the author intends to set our minds on Christ.

On this episode we will be discussing the word of God. Specifically, our need for God to speak to us, and the value of God speaking through a written word. We’ll follow that up by looking at the attributes of Scripture and its effects on those who read it.

What motivates us to minister in the church, or share the gospel, or help those who suffer, or care for people’s needs? Why do we try to do what God asks us to do? Why do we obey Scripture? Why do good works?

Why Hebrews? There is perhaps no better account of the character and work of Christ than this epistle. Hebrews provides a comprehensive explanation of who Christ is as God and man, of what Christ has accomplished as our High Priest and our Atonement, and of the effects of salvation in the lives of believers.
