Which Rules Do We Obey? - How to Read the Bible Part 4 - KC #004

Happy Halloween! Matt and Josh discuss the moral sense of Scripture and how morality is not the goal of the Christian life, but a byproduct of being a community united with God’s Spirit. They also discuss what it means for the Bible to be “authoritative,” and if that is an appropriate word to describe how the Bible should function in the community of believers.
