A People of the Word - Chris Chalmers - 26 April 26

In the service from April 26, Ps Chris begins a series focused on the Word of God, using Psalm 119 as the primary text. He explores the unique nature of the Bible as both a "human book"—written by over 40 authors in specific historical contexts—and a "divine book" that is inspired by God and eternally relevant to all people. Ps Chris emphasizes the authority of Scripture in a postmodern world often characterized by a "radical distrust" of external authority. He highlights that true humility involves submitting to God's Word rather than viewing it through the lens of personal preference or "my truth." By positioning the Bible as a lamp and a light, he encourages the congregation to move beyond being "analysts" of sermons or casual readers, but instead to develop a deep, reverent passion for Scripture that informs every decision and aspect of life.
