Scripture reveals who we really are. It cuts through our facades, exposing our true selves. When it works on us, we are laid bare before God. Though we may be able to maintain a veneer of righteousness in our own efforts, Scripture peels it back and uncovers our sinful hearts.

Podcast: From the Mouth of God: Part One [Foundations]
We believe that when Scripture speaks, God speaks. Scripture is not a lesser revelation than if God were to show up tonight and speak directly to you or me. The words of Scripture are the very words of God. Scripture comes from the mouth of God. Listen Now
