A Sure Hope (Audio‪)‬ Dave Schenk

Reading your Bible, and times of prayer, are key components of a vibrant spiritual life. But as Pastor Dave shares today, there are also important things that happen when we gather together. When you’re praying, worshiping, and hearing the word of God with other believers, God is doing an important work in your heart.

It’s great to know that the Bible is the most thoroughly attested document in all of ancient literature. But as Pastor Dave shares today, it’s not enough just to know that you have an accurate document. It’s more important for you to trust that this document is the very Word of God. And to read it. And to understand it!

When times get tough, where do people turn? Many decide, that when all else fails, it’s time to pray. But as Pastor Dave shares today, the most important reason to pray is not for physical needs. God wants to bless you when you pray. So be sure you’re praying for the blessings which are the most important – those that are spiritual.

Living in America, we can easily take the Bible for granted. It’s easily accessible online, in a bookstore, or on our phones, so it’s not seen as anything special. But in today’s message, Pastor Dave teaches you the importance of revering and respecting the Bible because it’s the very word of God! No other book can claim that.

Nobody’s a bystander in God’s kingdom. Today, Pastor Dave teaches that God gifted you with unique talents, skills, passions, and experiences so that you can serve your local church body in a way that no one else can. What are the gifts that you’ve been blessed with? How are you using them to serve God and benefit others?

Whether it’s a pastor, a Sunday school teacher, or a seminary professor, you need to test what they’re saying with the truth of God’s word. Pastor Dave reminds you that you can’t take anything at face value, no matter who’s speaking. The only absolute authority in all matters of your life is the Bible.
