The Authority of Scripture

The authority of Scripture rests on its divine origin. The Bible is not merely a witness to religious experience; it is the Word of God written.

Because Scripture comes from God, it speaks with final authority over belief, worship, and obedience. The church does not stand over the Word. The church sits under it.

This conviction shapes preaching, discipleship, counseling, and worship. A healthy church continually returns to Scripture, trusting that God has spoken clearly and sufficiently for the good of His people.
