Text: Revelation 1:4-8 There is a strong need for encouragement in the lives of Christians daily. The Christian life is filled with significant challenges, hurts, and trials. We need to think in terms of the greatest way to encourage those who are hurting. As we turn in our Bibles to Revelation 1, we will see clearly that John encourages these churches that were facing persecution through a greeting, a doxology and a promise. I. The Greeting- 1. The eternal Father. 2. The all-sufficient (complete) Spirit. 3. The Unique Son-meaning there is no-one like Him. II. The Doxology - 1. Unique love. 2. Freedom. 3. Value. 4. Access
III. A Promise-Behold (a term of attention) He is coming! |

Just how reliable is the Bible? Is it just a collection of books written by men or is it the holy word of God? How did the collection of 66 books come together as the Bible we know it today? Have some books been left out of the Bible? Listen to this muti-week study as we explore these questons and more about the bible and how reliable it really is. This week we will look at Inspiration and answering questions on the actual writing down of the very words of the Bible. We investigate the different theories on inspiration and go into Verbal-plenary which is what most conservative believers adhere to. |

Text: I Corinthians 12:1 How did you do in reading the word of God last year? How about your study time? How about meditating on the word? How was your prayer life? No matter how you answered these questions there is always room for improvement.
In I Cor. 12 we see the role of Spiritual gifts in serving the Lord. Are some gifts more important than others? Are some more honorable than others? All the gifts are needed and they work together.
How are you serving the people in the church?
