Word of the Week: Scripture

Word of the Week: Scripture

Join Pastor Mark Tiefel as he describes and defines the word “Scriptures” and show where it came from. This term is derived from Latin and Greek and simply means “writings”. From this basic definition we are simply saying that these books of the Bible are simply things that were written. But there is a deeper meaning as well. The writings of the books of the Bible were different from other writings. Jesus Himself understood and declares that these writings are from God. The apostles also use this term to show that the writings of the Old and New Testaments are holy, or given by God. They are God’s words, not man’s. What a blessing that God had communicated these truths to us through the Scriptures!

Word of the Week: Disciple

Word of the Week: Disciple

What is a disciple? Basically it means “one who follows” but we find that it is much more than just that. Pastor Mark Tiefel defines the word disciple and also points to what it means to be a follower of Jesus. Following Jesus implies endurance. Those who follow Jesus will be disciplined as His disciples, and while that may be difficult, it is better to be disciplined then to be lost and separated from God.
