Primary Scripture: Hebrews 4:12 (in context)
BIG IDEA: The Bible is God’s message revealing how to have a friendship with Him.
Message Focus: The Bible has the ability to discern the thoughts and intentions of a person. How can a document do that? The Bible is living, active, and full of power. This is an opportunity to expose the supernatural nature of the Bible, how we got it, and why we need it.
Prompting Questions: How did God give us the Scriptures, originally and in the form we have today? What are common misunderstandings about the Bible’s purpose? How would you counsel someone who believes that the Bible is not essential to their faith?
Cross References: Isaiah 40:8; 55:11; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:16-21; 3:15-16
