Celebrating the Bible
We’ve all had plenty of reasons to celebrate lately and today we’ll be celebrating the Bible. As followers of Christ, we believe the Scripture to be divine communication from God. That’s reason to kindle a spirit of joy and hope within our hearts. Looking at Psalm 119 Pastor Jerry will offer 4 reasons the Word is important to us and why we need to immerse ourselves in it daily.
Psalm 19: 7-14 (ESV)
7 The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; 8 the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; 9 the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb. 11 Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward. 12 Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults. 13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me! Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression. 14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock, and my redeemer.
