The goal of our time together is not to realize the impact the Bible had on reforming the church, but to ensure that you realize it’s power to reform your life. 1. The Bible Is a Living Book 2. The Bible Is a Penetrating Book 3. The Bible Is a Discerning Book

He understands us, helps us, and gives us hope in the darkest of times. 1. God the Son becomes man to fix this broken world 2. God the Son becomes man to fix a broken people 3. God the Son becomes man to destroy the power of death & the devil 4. God the Son becomes man to be our comforter

The Glory of God. Behold His: 1. Glorious Might 2. Glorious Wisdom 3. Glorious Holiness 4. Glorious Grace 5. Glorious People
