Excerpt from the Sermon Journal, Monday, September 10, 2018 Written by Pastor Tom Harrison I Believe in the Authority of Scripture The Jewish people were referred to as people of the Book. Jewish scribes dedicated their entire lives to meticulously copying Scripture. The incredible discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947 proved the Old Testament manuscripts had been transmitted accurately over a span of a thousand years. C.S. Lewis atheism was shaken when he heard an Oxford professor (also an atheist) state with certainty that the New Testament documents were historically accurate. That shocked Lewis and set him on a journey that eventually led him to put his faith in Jesus. We all need a governing authority and worldview in life. My natural bias is myself. I want to run life on my terms. However, I have vast limitations. I need someone greater than myself. Christians believe that Jesus is THE Authority for life and that His will for us is revealed in the Bible. Something to Think About: What value do you place on Scripture How does Scripture form your worldview (how you think about money, sex and relationships, authority, work, service, spirituality, etc.). Asbury is about to begin a series of classes on the Bible.
