OPENING SONG: Brother Kenneth Thompson # 380 O How I Love Jesus

OPENING PRAYER: Carl Boyd or Visiting Brethren COMMUNION SONG: Brother Kenneth Thompson # 387 Glory To His Name

CONTRIBUTION SONG: Bro Thompson #572 Soul, A Savior Thou Art Needing PRESERMON SONG: Brother Thompson # 218 I Know That My Redeemer Lives

Sermon: Brother Kelly Lawson The Holy Scriptures It is used to describe books of Old & New Testaments. It comes from Greek biblos meaning

book. Difference between OT & NT Hebrews taught Christ brought a new & better Testament, Heb 7:22, 8:6-13, 9:15. OT is divided into three groups: Law, 1st 5 books of

Moses known as Torah & Pentateuch. Prophets, 21 books - major & minor OT Prophets. Writings - 13. The NT of 27 books naturally divide into 4 parts: 4 Gospels, Acts, Epistles &

Revelation. Epistles are 21 books of teaching. 13 are Pauline Epistles. 8 called General Epistles written by other Apostles/Prophets. Hebrews written by unknown writer. The

Bible is a remarkable book. Its Teachings Divinely Inspired. Non-believers account for the Bible on natural rather than supernatural grounds. The doctrine of Inspiration asserts

Bible revelation did not & could not originate in the mind of man. The Bible claims to be "inspired" meaning "God breathed" cf: II Tim 3:16. It claims Holy men of God "spake"

"carried along" by Holy Spirit, II Pet 1:20. Scriptures did not originate in the human mind. They are not a human product & cannot be accounted for on natural grounds. Bible

miracles are contrary to ordinary human experience, but are not contrary to reason. With God, miracles & the extraordinary are not contrary to reason. It isn't that the Bible is different from other religions because man evolved in his thinking & became better.

Concepts found in the Bible completely differ from societies of the ancient world. The Bible is simply NOT a better revelation than Egyptian, Greek, Babylonian, or Roman

religion. Truth is: Bible is altogether true while others are altogether false. INVITATION SONG: Brother K. Thompson # 696 There's A Fountain Free

CLOSING SONG: Brother Kenneth Thompson #303 Just Over In The Glory Land CLOSING PRAYER: Brother Kenneth Scoggins or Visiting Brethren
