Description: In this sermon, the speaker addresses a critical concern within the Christian community: the growing misunderstanding of the Bible's authority among believers. The sermon begins by highlighting the alarming trend of Christians questioning the Bible's divine origin, emphasizing the necessity of recognizing the Bible as the inerrant Word of God, not merely a collection of texts determined by the church. The preacher delves into the core issue: contrasting views on the source of the Bible's authority, where one perspective credits the church's role in canon formation, inadvertently placing ecclesiastical tradition above Scripture, while the correct stance acknowledges God as the ultimate author, thereby making His Word inherently authoritative and unchangeable, irrespective of human acknowledgment.

The sermon passionately argues that God's inspiration, not human consensus, confers authority upon the Bible, using vivid illustrations from Scripture and theology to affirm that the Bible's truth remains steadfast, serving as a guiding light for personal faith and righteousness. The preacher underscores the transformative power of the Bible, illustrating how it shapes believers' lives by providing clarity, conviction, and direction in a relationship with Christ. Finally, the sermon calls for a recommitment to the Bible as the foundational truth, urging the congregation to make informed, Spirit-led decisions that honor God's Word above all human tradition or interpretation, ultimately leading to a life rooted in divine truth and purpose.
