I. The Word of God: Foundation for Faith

God wants us to have faith, but where do we start?

“Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.” - Romans 10:17

Main Point: The Bible is God’s word and must be our standard for what we believe and how we live.

God has spoken clearly

II Tim 3:16-17

II Peter 1:20-21

God wants us to build our life on his word

Matt 7:24-29

James 1:22-25

John 8:31-32

We should not add or subtract from what God has said

Matthew 15:1-9

Revelation 22:18-19

God judges us by the standard of his word

John 12:47-50

Heb 4:12-13

Matt. 7:21-23

We must decide to let scripture be our standard

Acts 17:10-11
