Elevate Wednesday September 17th
Word Up is the name of our new series and going along with everyone starting to bring every night this year. Remember to start bringing your Bibles every Wednesday night if you haven’t started already. Most people who come to church know that we refer to this great Book for scripture, Psalms and parables. But how many of us know why Christianity and Catholicism use the Bible or how the Bible came to be.
Many great questions arise when we look at this book that has been translated into hundreds and hundreds of different languages, smuggles illegally into closed countries not to mention the book that holds the title of the most copies sold book of all time. Some other questions that may come up; how do we know the Bible is completely true? I’ve heard the Bible contradicts itself? Well in this series we will answer these difficult questions.

1. How many books are there in the Bible?

2. How many authors wrote the Bible?

3. When Paul said that the different authors of the Bible were inspired by God to write what He wanted, what does God Inspired mean?

4. How can the Bible help us to know God?

5. How is the Bible a “guide book” for life?

6. The Bible took thousands of years to complete, and has stood the test of time. Clearly God has protected His book for us. Paul called the Bible Sacred, what did he mean by that?

7. Why is it important for us to know the Bible?

8. We want you to learn how to read your Bible outside of Wednesday nights and discover the wonderful knowledge that God is passing to us through His Word. Think of some ideas that will help you to read your Bible at home/ with your friends and family.

See you all Wednesday night. Paul
