Three Words for Scripture: A Sermon Delivered Sunday, September 15, 2013

[This text is still formatted and edited for delivery as a sermon.]

Is scripture SACRED? 

Is the bible different for us from other literature; Shakespeare's plays, for example; the books of other religions; Harry Potter?

Do MIRACLES matter? The bible is full of miracles. Can we ignore them? What do we make of them?
Whose WORD is the bible? Is it human words? Is it God's word? How do we come to one view or the other? Should we?

The SACRED; MIRACLES; the WORD of God; three words to help us consider the place of the bible in our lives and our church.
