Our Topic...what is the actual authority of the Bible.
Verses to Consider: John 10:35; Revelation 22:18-19; Matthew 5:17-18; 1 Corinthians 14:37

- How does church history/tradition relate to the Scripture?
- Is the Bible sufficient for what God wants us to know?
- How does the Bible relate to science
