2 Timothy 3:14-15

The authority of scripture is rooted in who speaks through it.

2 Timothy 3:15

We do not worship the Bible or knowledge of it…but the God who reveals Himself through the Bible.

2 Timothy 3:16

Theopneustos - breathed out by God’s Spirit

Authority is not oppressive when the source is trustworthy.

If scripture is just human wisdom, then we get to pick and choose what to obey, but if the Bible is God-breathed, then obedience isn’t optional.

2 Timothy 3:16

Scripture makes sure we start with truth…not our feelings.

2 Timothy 3:16

The Bible doesn’t just inform us…it exposes us.

2 Timothy 3:16

God never exposes sin without offering a path forward.

2 Timothy 3:16

Consistent, humble exposure to the Word of God changes us over time.

2 Timothy 3:17

What God does in us should show up in the world through us.
