Pastor Dan Parker shared how he discovered the Bible as a love letter from God. God slowly revealed His love, His Son, and His purpose to him through His Word. In Pastor Dan's quest, he discovered that peace, joy, fulness, forgiveness, and contentment were found while reading scripture, because it is the Living Word. Job 38:1-3 Job 42:1-6
God shows His faithfulness to His people by fulfilling what He said He would do. In Isaiah 55:10-11, the scriptures state that as the rain and snow water the earth and make it bud and flourish, the Word of God accomplishes what it is sent to do. It may take generations, but God's faithfulness will be seen. Isaiah 55:10-11 Luke 24:44-45 Isaiah 46:9-10 Examples of some of the prophecies fulfilled: Genesis 12:3, fulfilled: Acts 3:25 Genesis 17:19, fulfilled: Romans 9:7 Genesis 28:14, fulfilled: Luke 3:34 2 Samuel 7:12-13, fulfilled: Matthew 1:1 Micah 5:2, fulfilled: Matthew 2:4-6 Isaiah 61:1, fulfilled: Luke 4:12-21 Isaiah 7:14 & Isaiah 9:6, fulfilled: Luke 1:30
God's Word is precise, stable, and unchanging. Cultures may change, wars may happen, sicknesses may occur, but God's Word is an anchor that will not move. Mark 4:1-20 The Parable of the Sower Luke 8:15 Proverbs 4:23
