"It's In the Bible" by Kenny Bishop

Author: Bluegrass United Church of Christ June 8, 2026 Duration: 19:30

We receive the Bible as our foundation for what is good and right. It is not the only holy text or common writing that informs who we are, but it is where we begin our "truth." But how do we discern its words? How is it that where we see Jesus as a model of compassion, others who follow him see harsh judgment and condemnation. It is said that if we're going to make a case for God's goodness and grace, we'd better be sure to have scripture to back it up. Today, we look at some of the many verses that tell us how to live as God's ambassadors in a complicated world.

MESSAGE: "It's In the Bible" by Kenny Bishop

SCRIPTURE: Acts 2:1-15
