Topic 1: The Bible is Immutable Word (Matthew 24:35)
We begin by acknowledging the steadfastness of the Word of God. As Jesus Himself declared, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away." In a world of flux and instability, the words of Christ remain unchanged and eternally reliable.
Topic 2: The Enduring Nature of God's Word (1 Peter 1:22-25)
The Apostle Peter affirms the enduring nature of God's Word, comparing it to imperishable seed that brings forth new life. Just as a seed retains its life-giving power over time, so too does the Word of God continue to transform and renew hearts throughout generations.
Topic 3: The Divine Origin of Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
In the Scriptures, we find every word to be inspired by God Himself. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is the product of divine revelation, containing all that is necessary for salvation and spiritual growth. It is not merely a human creation but the very Word of God.
Topic 4: The Completeness of the Bible (Jude 3)
Jude reminds us that the Scriptures are complete and sufficient for all matters of faith and practice. The revelation of God's truth has been "delivered once and for all" to His people, leaving no need for additional revelation or human wisdom.

Topic 6: Equipped for Life and Godliness (2 Peter 1:3; 2 Timothy 3:16-17)
Through the Scriptures, God has provided everything we need for life and godliness. It is through the Word that we are equipped for every good work, empowered to live lives that honor and glorify Him.
