Reflection | Sola Scriptura
Yesterday, we began a new sermon series called "The 5 Solas" and began our time in "Sola Scriptura" ("Scripture Alone"). I think our time in this series is going to be fruitful for our people. First, I wish to give brief bouts of history in light of how we got to holding these 5 foundational doctrines, not simply as a church but as Christians. Secondly, my hope and prayer is that our people would immerse themselves in the Word of God because they're hungry and desperate to hear from God. And third, I believe it's important to not only teach and communicate on the doctrines that we, particularly at Storehouse Community, hold to but are moved by conviction toward them. In this case, "Sola Scriptura" presents itself as a doctrine that testifies to the inerrancy and sufficiency of scripture; that is, everything from the Christian life to ethics to tradition and especially salvation will be evaluated and looked at from the lens' of the Word of God.
If you're looking at doing a little more research on "Sola Scripture" I'll provide some links below along with Sunday's sermon in case you're curious or missed out; hope you enjoy!
