The Centrality of the Word of God

The Centrality of the Word of God - Session 1 (3 May 2026) In this opening session of The Centrality of the Word of God series, we explore God’s desire in this apostolic season to bring the Church back to the centrality, purity, and authority of His Word. From creation itself, Scripture reveals that all things were made through the Word, and that man was originally formed and shaped by God according to His divine purpose. However, through disobedience to God’s Word, humanity became spiritually deformed and separated from its original state. This session examines how restoration and reformation are made possible through Christ, the Living Word, and through a renewed submission to the authority of Scripture. Using the imagery of the potter and clay, we will discover how God continues to reform, reshape, and restore His people through His Word. We will also explore how times of refreshing, restoration, and spiritual maturity are triggered by returning fully to the Lord and to His truth.
