About this sermon

You can’t be a whole disciple without the Bible. From the very beginning of following Jesus, Scripture has been there—shaping how we hear the good news, believe it, and live it. In this episode, we explore Peter’s words in 2 Peter 1:16–21, where he compares his breathtaking experience on the Mount of Transfiguration with something even better: the Word of God. The Bible, he says, is a lamp that shines the light of Christ into our lives. We’ll talk about: Why the Bible is better than even the most powerful spiritual experiences How Scripture brings the light of Jesus into our hearts What it looks like to read the Bible with expectation and care The Bible isn’t just words on a page—it’s where we encounter the living Christ by the Spirit’s power.
