All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the person of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
Another of our preferred values at King Road is “Biblical Teaching” – We value sound doctrine, the teaching and application of God’s Word to our lives because without His direction and grace we are truly lost. (Psalm 119: 105; Colossians 3:16-17; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 1 Peter 1:25; Hebrews 4:12)
Where does one start a conversation about the Bible and the importance of Biblical Teaching? Perhaps I should simply add several more scripture references to those listed above and leave it at that! (Feel free to contact me for such a list.) As we live out the value of depending on God, we must be guided by Him, and one key way God guides us is through His Word. So, I simply ask, how central is the Word of God in your life? We strive to teach the Bible well and accurately, and make decisions as a congregation based on guidance from God’s Word.
As I did in the previous entry, allow me to suggest some questions to stir your thinking and conversations. You might benefit from discussing one or more of these with someone.
- What helps you spend regular time in the Bible?
- What is difficult for you as you strive to read the Bible? (How might we help you?)
- Are you more likely to read the Bible or a devotional book about the Bible? Where is the necessary balance between these two options?
- What parts of the Bible would you like to see more teaching on?
- What insights could you share about scripture memorization?
At King Road, we are committed to Biblical Teaching! So, bring your Bibles and join us as we journey together! Blessings!
