Wednesday Evening Bible Study

Title:                The Word that Speaks

Text:                1 Thessalonians 2:13-16 (also Hebrews 1:1-3, 2 Peter 1:16-21)

The Word of God must be proclaimed (preached)

·      Central theme of God’s revelation is Jesus

·      Revelation – God’s word to biblical authors

·      Inspiration – God’s word from the biblical authors to the written page

·      Illumination – God’s word from the written page applied to my world

The Word of God demands a response

·      Rejection of the Word leads to judgment

·      Acceptance of the Word leads to union with Christ

The Word of God shapes my worldview

·      Suffering takes on a new meaning

·      My affections take on a new focus – Christ 

Cherish the Bible deeply. Study the Bible faithfully. Conform to the Bible completely
