A 2 So they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified. (Isaiah 61:3)

Big Idea… To grow into the “oaks of righteousness” that God desires for each believer, we must sink our roots down deeply into the fertile soil of God’s Word.

Victory through the word WHAT is the Bible? It is… 1. God speaking

But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God. 2 Peter 1:20- 21

“God is forever seeking to speak Himself out to His creation. Not God spoke, but God is speaking. He is, by His nature, continuously articulate. He fills the world with His speaking voice.” The Pursuit of God, p. 73 A.W. Tozer

“I think a new world will arise out of the religious mists when we approach our Bible with the idea that it is not only a book which was once spoken, but it is a book which is now speaking.” The Pursuit of God, p. 82 A.W. Tozer

Victory through the word WHAT is the Bible? It is… 1. God speaking 2. Eternal

The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever. Isaiah 40:8

Victory through the word WHAT is the Bible? It is… 1. God speaking 2. Eternal 3. Prophetic 4. Trustworthy

The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, Making wise the simple. They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb. Psalm 19:7, 10

Victory through the word WHAT is the Bible? It is… 1. God speaking 2. Eternal 3. Prophetic 4. Trustworthy 5. Powerful

Finally, be strong in the LORD and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. And take…the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Ephesians 6:10-11; 17

So will the words that come out of my mouth will not come back empty- handed. They’ll do the work I sent them to do, they’ll complete the assignment I gave them. The Message Isaiah 55:11

Victory through the word WHAT is the Bible? It is… 1. God speaking 2. Eternal 3. Prophetic 4. Trustworthy 5. Powerful 6. Life Changing

For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two- edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intention of the heart. Hebrews 4:12

Blessed be the LORD, who daily bears our burden, The God who is our salvation. Psalm 68:19

The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person. Ecclesiastes 11:13

Grace BIBLE Church Constitution The Scriptures… We believe the Bible to be the verbally inspired Word of God and the supreme and final authority in doctrine and practice (II Tim. 3:16-17; II Peter 1:21; John 17:17).

The Scriptures… Though Scriptural truth is spiritually discerned (I Cor. 2:13, 14), it is not subjective or a matter of personal opinion (II Peter 1:20). Ultimately, its reliability rests on the promises of God that it is powerful, will endure, and will accomplish what God pleases (Isaiah 40:8, 55:11; Matthew 5:18; Hebrews 4:12).
