PARTICIPANTGUIDE

This week at True North we continued our At the Core series with the message “A Bible Church.” We were reminded that the Bible isn’t just a book to respect—it’s the living Word of God that sets the agenda for our lives, points us to Jesus, and equips us for everyday faith. At True North, we don’t just preach for Sundays—we preach for Mondays through Fridays, so the Word shapes our head, heart, and hands. Join us this Sunday as we keep building our lives on the foundation of God’s Word.

ICEBREAKERS

+ What’s the oldest or most memorable Bible you’ve ever owned?
+ Share one way Scripture has recently helped you in a practical situation.

SCRIPTURALREFERENCES

2 Timothy 3:16–17
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy 4:2
Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.

John 5:39
You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me.

James 1:22
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.

BIGIDEA

Being a Bible Church means the Word directs our lives, points us to Jesus, and equips us for everyday faith.

SERMONSUMMARY

This week’s message reminded us that being a Bible Church is more than a label—it’s our foundation. God’s Word is not decoration; it’s direction. Scripture equips us for every good work, and our calling is to live it out.

The sermon gave us three main points:
1.  The Bible Sets the Agenda — We Just Make It Clear.
God’s Word directs the church, not culture or opinion. Our role is to proclaim it with clarity and courage.

2.  The Bible Is About Jesus — So Is Our Preaching.
Every page of the Bible points to Christ. If we miss Him, we miss the point.

3. We Preach for Monday to Friday.
The Word is for everyday life—shaping our head (beliefs), heart (passions), and hands (actions).

True North exists to help people not just hear the Bible but live it. When we let God’s Word guide us, reveal Jesus, and shape our daily lives, we become fully equipped disciples who live with confidence and purpose.
