WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF A SERMON SERIES on the topic of biblical inspiration and interpretation. Each of the books of the Bible is a separate document with a unique context. Is it any wonder that we detect differences between them and among them? Yet the Spirit of God can be detected in them also. How are we to relate to an ancient “holy” book in the modern age? Is there wisdom in the Bible that transcends time and place? We pray these messages are a blessing in your life.
