At The Dwelling Place

During the season of Epiphany we have been looking at the teachings of Jesus. This week we want to ask this question: Who has the final authority -- the Bible or Jesus? How do we read the whole counsel of God as centered in Jesus? Sometimes people have a flat reading of Scripture where the Old Covenant command to not eat shellfish is on par with Jesus’ New Covenant command of enemy love. This doesn’t seem right. Even the Bible has to be re-thought in the light of Jesus. Paul reminds us that “all the promises of God find their ‘Yes’ in Christ.” Our study this week is called: Reading the Bible Backwards.
