To be quite honest. I'm posting this so that I can remember it. But if you find it beneficial - that's great too. :) If you attend Grace then you probably heard the message.
This past Sunday we had a visiting pastor, Dr. James G. Samra. He spoke about the Scriptures.
How they are:
God breathed
Inerrant
Authoritative
Sufficient
Living
You can find the sermon here if you want to watch or read it.
It was very refreshing as I often forget and become complacent with my life and take His Word for granted. I don't spend enough time reading my bible as I should. During the sermon he showed a video portraying the Kimyal tribe and their reaction to finally getting the New Testament. They were so joyful and thankful.
Pastor Samra shared in his sermon about a theologian Karl Barth and how he was asked "You have a lot of stuff you have written. You are an expert in all of these things. Could you boil it all down for us? If you were going to tell us what is the essence of the Christian message in just one sentence, all this stuff you have written, what is it all about? So this very, very bright man thought for a moment and said: It is easy. This is what I would say. Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so."
He loves me. He loves you too.
Merry Christmas!
So you can listen or read the sermon - you can't watch it. I was mistaken.
