John 7:14-24 "The Authority of Christ's Teaching"

Sunday Morning Service: "The Authority of Christ's Teaching" Sunday, June 21, 2026 https://www.reformedbible.org/ We subscribe to the Reformed tradition of the Protestant Christian faith. We affirm vital doctrines within this tradition, such as Sola Scriptura and Sola Fide. Sola Scriptura refers to the teaching that the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word of God and is the sole infallible revelation that rules the faith and practice of the Christian community and alone can bind the conscience. Sola Fide refers to the doctrine of justification by faith alone, whereby the believer is justified before God by the free grace of God, receiving the imputed righteousness of Christ (Rom. 5:18-19). The sole ground of our justification is the merit of Jesus, which is imputed to all who put their trust in Him. Although good works flow necessarily and immediately from all justified persons, these works are not the meritorious grounds of our justification (Eph. 2:8-10). We also place great emphasis on the doctrine of God, which is central to the whole of Reformed Theology. In a word, Reformed Theology is God-centered. The absolute sovereignty of God over all things, including salvation, is foundational to the Reformed tradition. The structure of the biblical Covenant of Grace is the framework for understanding the theology of our salvation. The belief that salvation is by God's grace alone is at the core of this theology. We adhere to the Five Solas of the Reformation. We also believe in the Doctrines of Grace, commonly known as Calvinism and summarized by the acronym "TULIP":
