<p>Our Eternal King is supreme and preeminent over all things. In the letter to the Colossians, the Apostle Paul states that “For in Him, the fullness of God was pleased to dwell…” which means that Christ was not merely a good moral teacher, but the only one who ever existed as fully God and Fully Man.

Here at Parkwood, we exist to glorify God by laboring together for the growth of all believers while going with the gospel to all people. You can find more information about our <a href="mailto:[email protected]" rel="nofollow">[email protected]</a> by visiting our website you will be able to learn more about Parkwood and our mission. Now join us as we grow together through the teaching of God’s word.</p><p>You well, good morning. It is a joy to be with you again this morning as we gather together to worship the Lord. Pastor Jeff was away this past week, so I have the privilege of taking up the word of God with you. And together this morning we’ll be continuing our sermon series in Colossians. We’ll be in Colossians chapter one, verses 19 and 20 this morning. So please grab your bibles and turn there.</p><p><br></p><p>We’re on page 983 in the chair bibles if you need to use one of those. And please feel free to do that. Now, while you’re turning there, I just want to clear up something several of you have asked me over the last few weeks. What happened to verses 13 and 14? Well, we didn’t skip them. Pastor Jeff is going to come back to them on Easter Sunday. It’s a wonderful passage that speaks of redemption, so you will hear that preached on Easter Sunday. But for this morning we’re taking up chapter one, verses 19 and 20. So would you please now stand as we read the word of God together?</p><p><br></p><p>Paul writes, for in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross. Let’s pray. Father God, thank you for your word. Thank you for its complexity, but thank you for its simplicity. So I pray you help us to understand it this morning and apply it to our lives in the power of the spirit and in Christ’s name, I pray. Amen.</p><p><br></p><p>You can be seated. So when my wife and I were living overseas, we had the privilege of visiting the great wall of China. And if you’ve ever been there, you know how magnificent it is. It’s over 13,000 miles long. The average height is 25ft, but the tallest part of it is over 45ft high. And when you’re on the wall and you’re walking on it, you actually see how magnificent it is. It’s more than just a wall. There’s gun fortresses and watch towers and just all kinds of things on the wall. And the widest part of the wall is over 55ft wide, which is wider than a four lane highway, but the narrowest part is less than 2ft.</p><p><br></p><p>So it’s really small in some parts. It’s fascinating to walk around it, or to walk on it and then walk around it. On that particular day that we visited, there were lots of other people there. It was really crowded and everyone was taking pictures of the wall, touc

Crossway. Kindle Edition. </p><p><br></p><p>———————— </p><p><br></p><p>FULL TRANSCRIPT</p><p><br></p><p>Good morning. I invite you to grab your bibles and open them and turn to Matthew, chapter four, verse four. In just a few minutes, we’ll be reading Matthew four, verse four. If you don’t have a Bible, as always, we invite you to grab one underneath a chair near you. We’ll be on page 809 in the chair bibles. While you’re turning there, I want to briefly mention that Pastor Jeff was on vacation last week. He and Celeste enjoyed a wonderful week of fun and rest, and then upon returning home, he came down with a fever and is sick today.</p><p><br></p><p>He fully intended to be here worshiping with us and preaching the word of God to you this morning, but unfortunately, he was unable to make it. So I’m filling in for Pastor Jeff this morning. If you’re new here, I’m Scott hand. I’m a local disciple making pastor. So I ask you to pray for me and with me this morning while I preach the word of God. We must be reminded this did not catch the Lord by surprise.</p><p><br></p><p>This was his plan, and so we trust him completely. But I get the privilege of preaching to you on the doctrine of the necessity of scripture. It is a wonderful and a glorious doctrine, and I’m excited to be here with you to study that together. So with that said, would you please stand now as we read the word of God, Matthew four, verse four. And he answered, it is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.</p><p><br></p><p>Let’s pray. Heavenly Father, we ask now that you will open our hearts and our minds to hear what you have to say from the scriptures. About the scriptures, God, I don’t care in a sense what I say. We should not care what I have to say. I pray that you will speak in me and through me and help us to understand the important doctrine of the necessity of scripture this morning. I pray this in Christ’s name. Amen.</p><p><br></p><p>You may be seated. So the idea of something being a necessity or of something being a need has kind of gotten lost in our modern world. I think we use the word need or necessity. Pretty flippantly or casually. In our world, we talk about things as needs. Right? My kids say, dad, I need the new iPhone. Right? We talk about food as needs. I need to go try the new restaurant that opened up downtown. Or we talk about hobbies as needs.</p><p>I have to play golf this Friday. Right. But the word need or necessity literally means this. It means the fact of being required or indispensable. In other words, you cannot live without it. So when we say the necessity of scripture, we are saying from the outset that you cannot live without the Bible. Spiritually speaking, you cannot live without the Bible. Now, how can I say that? Or how can we say that? What do we mean by that?</p><p><br></p><p>We have three main points this morning that are summed up in the main idea. Here’s the main idea. The word of

<p>“Our desire, delight, and dependence on the words of Scripture do not grow inversely to our desire, delight, and dependence on Jesus Christ.”</p><p>As believers, we should be constantly in awe of the reality that the Living God has given us his Living Word.
