Valley Bible Church http://www.vbcfamily.com Practical Bible Teaching for Everyday Living Sun, 13 May 2012 23:39:58 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Directives for Biblical Relationships http://www.vbcfamily.com/2011/08/directives-for-biblical-relationships/ http://www.vbcfamily.com/2011/08/directives-for-biblical-relationships/#comments Sat, 06 Aug 2011 21:48:56 +0000 admin http://www.vbcfamily.com/?p=506 Join us Sunday mornings at 10 am for a new study that examines what the Bible has to say about relationships.

Your vertical relationship with God that results in the right kind of worship also has an effect upon your horizontal relationships. It follows naturally then, that we need to learn what God’s Word says about our relationships with fellow-believers and with those who would claim to be Christians.

Here is where we are going in this series.

•Part 1: Underlying Biblical Truths that Are to Govern Our Relationships

•Part 2: Looking into the past to learn some of the recent events and organizations that have shaped our present situation.  We will also introduce some relevant terms that you will need to know…October 2, 2011
•Part 3: The Pyramid of Responsibility

•Part 4: Summary for Practical Use as a Church

Join us on Sunday mornings at 10 a.m. to find out through a new series entitled “More than a Book.” This is an in depth study into the origin and character of the Bible.

Here are some of the questions that will be answered in this series:

  • Where did the Bible come from?
  • Who decided what books should be in the Bible?
  • Are there errors in the Bible?
  • How trustworthy are the ancient Greek and Hebrew manuscripts?
  • Does it matter what English Bible I read?

The following is an outline of this series and our current progress:

  1. How Does God Reveal Himself? (Revelation, Inspiration, and Illumination)
  2. Who Decided What Books Are in the Bible? (Canonization and the Apocrypha)
  3. How Reliable are the Biblical Manuscripts? (Reliability of Ancient Hebrew and Greek Manuscripts)
  4. Are There Errors in the Bible? (Inerrancy and Infallibility)
  5. Does Is It Matter What English Bible I Read? (History of the English Bible)
  6. Is the Bible All We Need? (Authority and Sufficiency of Scripture)…Part 1, October 10

A Bible church strives to base everything it does on the Bible. In a world where truth is relative and cultural opinions are constantly changing, the Bible provides personal and spiritual stability based on objective truth from God. Everyone that comes to a Bible church is consistently taught what God has said from the Bible.

Truth-Based

A Bible church believes in fundamental truths that are unchanging, while applying the Bible to current, contemporary issues. It is similar to a Baptist church in all its doctrinal positions. The pastor and other teachers in the church seek to help people of all ages understand the Bible and apply it to their lives.

Self-Supporting

A Bible church is an independent church and has the goal of being self-supporting. Until a church arrives at this stage, it usually needs assistance from other like-minded churches. Congregations give voluntarily to support the local ministry of the church and missionary work around the world.

Independent

A Bible church often starts informally from a local Bible study. Once the church officially forms, it is not associated with any specific denomination, educational institutions, or mission boards. It determines its own organization and government based on biblical teachings.

Fellowship

A Bible church is not based on programs and big crowds. It is based on a fellowship of Christians who love God and each other as part of God’s family. Although it is not associated with any particular denomination, it regularly seeks to meet and encourage other like-minded churches within its geographic region.
