Bible Teaching:

God’s Word is a powerful and dynamic force that can transform our lives and bring us closer to Him. In Hebrews 4:12, it is written, “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”

1. Creation: God’s Word brought creation into being, demonstrating its power and authority (Genesis 1).
2. Jesus and Scripture: Jesus used Scripture to resist temptation and to teach others about God’s kingdom (Matthew 4:1-11).
