The Bible

Pastor Gary highlights the importance of placing our faith in God rather than ourselves, which transforms our perspective and diminishes fear and anxiety. He emphasizes that the Bible, as God's living and active word, serves as a firm foundation for our beliefs and actions, urging us to engage directly with Scripture rather than relying solely on secondary sources. By hearing and practicing the words of Jesus, we can build our lives on the rock of His truth, which provides hope and freedom. Pastor Gary calls for a communal approach to interpreting the Bible, guided by the Holy Spirit, affirming its authority in shaping our faith and actions.
