On the Table: Jesus Loves Me This I Know: The Bible Tells Me So
Jesus Loves Me This I Know: The Bible Tells Me So
We are putting the big questions on the table. The big questions you and your friends have asked about God. Questions such as: Why is there suffering? Why are people abandoning their faith? Is Jesus the only way to God? What does God say about the transgender movement? The Scripture does not avoid your questions and God is not frustrated by them. God welcomes us with our questions and meets us with His grace and truth. Join us for our new series, On the Table, as we unpack several pressing questions confronting the Christian faith.

Discussion Questions
MAIN POINT
The Bible prepares us to live in and enjoy God by telling us His story. God uses Scripture to teach us who He is, how we are rescued by Him, and how to live in right relationship with Him.
Read 2 Timothy 3:16-17.
What does Scripture claim about itself in this passage? What do you learn about the role and power of Scripture?
Which of the reasons for trusting in the reliability of God’s Word impacted you the most? Why?
LOOK OUT
What responses to the validity and authority of the Bible might we expect from someone who does not believe in God? How might insights from Joe's message and today’s passage help us have those conversations?
Where do people turn to instead of Scripture for ultimate authority? How do those sources compare to Scripture?
Leader note: The common narrative today in our generation is that we are the authority in our own story. If we believe that, then we will only believe parts of the Bible that support our plans and our desires. We will fashion a Bible around ourselves instead of Him—a story we breathed, not the story He breathed. Furthermore, we will miss out on His blessing if we are the authority in our own lives. Life is much better and fuller when we gladly place ourselves under the authority of the God-breathed Word.
LOOK IN
What would change for you if you didn’t believe Scripture was divinely inspired for the purposes we’ve discussed today?
How does seeing yourself within the biblical story change the way you think about your past? Your future? Your present needs? Your hardships?
RHYTHM REMINDER: DAILY DEVOTION
How do you plan on spending time with God in Scripture this week/month/year? What practical tips or habits have proven helpful and meaningful in your own time of daily devotion?
Leader note: Remind everyone that while pastoral wisdom is a valuable gift to the Church and helpful in understanding, applying, and experiencing biblical truth, God-breathed Scripture is our ultimate authority. Spending time in God’s Word is a way to spend time with God—He wants to be known.
