A better question than "What is your purpose in life?" is "Who is your purpose in life?"

God is writing a new chapter in your story everyday. Your past will always be a part of your story but God is making you into a new creation.

We need even the hard parts of the Bible, whether it's in the Old or New Testament, because this is God’s word to us. It reveals something we need to know.

Every person can understand the Bible by taking these steps:

Studying the world behind the text - historical background 

Being sensitive to genre

Applying Scripture well

The Bible is comprised of multiple books, different genres, styles, cultural settings and answering the question, "How do I read this book?," is an important one.

One of the most important things the Holy Spirit ever did for us was to give us the Bible. If you do not let the scriptures guide you, then you are letting someone else, something else, or yourself lead your life.

What makes this book different from other religious works? On what basis can we claim that the Bible records the actual words of God himself? Wayne tackles this topic in his message from Sunday, January 9, 2022.
