Biblically Holistic and Humble

Noel Heikkinen

2 Timothy

The bible is the very inspired Word of God and the outline for how followers of Jesus are to live out their faith. Do you submit yourself to the truth of scripture? Pastor Noel Jesse Heikkinen shares our core value of being committed to being biblically holistic and humble. As followers of Jesus, we apply the whole bible to our whole selves by learning from it and going out into the world and living it.

Biblically Holistic and Humble

 

Evil people and impostors will become worse, deceiving and being deceived.

2 Timothy 3:13
 

But as for you, continue in what you have learned and firmly believed. You know those who taught you, and you know that from infancy you have known the sacred Scriptures, which are able to give you wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

2 Timothy 3:14-15
 

I recall your sincere faith that first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and now, I am convinced, is in you also.

2 Timothy 1:5
 

Hold on to the pattern of sound teaching that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

2 Timothy 1:13
 

But as for you, continue in what you have learned and firmly believed. You know those who taught you, and you know that from infancy you have known the sacred Scriptures, which are able to give you wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

2 Timothy 3:14-15
 

For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrating as far as the separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. No creature is hidden from him, but all things are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.

Hebrews 4:12-13
 

For just as rain and snow fall from heaven and do not return there without saturating the earth and making it germinate and sprout, and providing seed to sow and food to eat, so my word that comes from my mouth will not return to me empty, but it will accomplish what I please and will prosper in what I send it to do.

Isaiah 55:10-11
 

All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy 3:16-17
 

I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus, who is going to judge the living and the dead, and because of his appearing and his kingdom: Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; correct, rebuke, and encourage with great patience and teaching. For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, will multiply teachers for themselves because they have an itch to hear what they want to hear. They will turn away from hearing the truth and will turn aside to myths.

2 Timothy 4:1-4
 

Flee from youthful passions, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. But reject foolish and ignorant disputes, because you know that they breed quarrels. The Lord’s servant must not quarrel, but must be gentle to everyone, able to teach, and patient, instructing his opponents with gentleness. Perhaps God will grant them repentance leading them to the knowledge of the truth. Then they may come to their senses and escape the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.

2 Timothy 2:22-26
 

What are some of your earliest memories of hearing/reading the Bible? What specifically do you remember? How has your understanding of the Bible evolved over time?
Read II Timothy 3:16-17. Are you convinced that the entire Bible is “inspired by God”? How would the world be different if everyone lived as though they believed all of the Bible was actually God’s very words?
How has the truth of the Bible impacted your life when in comes to “teaching, “rebuking,” “correcting,” “training in righteousness,” and/or “equipping”?
In Hebrews 4:12-13 the author details impact of the Bible. What are some of the descriptive words that jump out at you?
What’s the next step for you? How often do you find yourself listening to or reading the Bible outside of a church service? What specifically can you do this week to help develop the practice of studying and discussing the Bible in community with others?
