The Importance of Scripture
What happens when we replace Biblical truth with worldly values? Pastor Jackson delivers a passionate call to return to Scripture as our foundation for life, salvation, and spiritual growth. In a society where moral boundaries blur and entertainment too often displaces sound doctrine, this message strikes at the heart of authentic Christian living.
"This book is a key to your life," Pastor Jackson declares, emphasizing how Scripture reveals our need for salvation, equips us for growth, and prepares us to share God's truth with others. Drawing from Paul's final letter to Timothy, we're reminded that all Scripture comes through divine inspiration, making it "profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness."
The message confronts a sobering reality: "Sometimes you can't tell the difference between a worldly person and a Christian person." Has the church compromised its distinctive calling to be light in darkness? Are we merely entertaining congregations rather than transforming lives through God's Word?
Through personal testimony and biblical insight, Pastor Jackson makes a compelling case that daily Scripture reading isn't optional but essential. "No word, no peace. No word, no joy. No word, no hope." His passionate delivery underscores the urgency of building our lives on God's unchanging truth rather than shifting cultural sands.
Whether you're new to faith or a longtime believer who's drifted from regular Bible study, this message will challenge you to make Scripture central again. Open your Bible today—your spiritual growth depends on it.
But not because of you, but because he is good and you will not have room to receive Him. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, Woo.
Speaker 2:Hello, welcome to Valley Gospel Church. We are a non-denominational Pentecostal church located in Springdale, Pennsylvania. Our sole mission is to present the living truth of a risen Lord Jesus Christ to a remnant church and a lost world. So let's go into the service recorded live at Valley Gospel Church.
Speaker 3:He's so good. I text a young lady here and I said would you read scripture for me? She texted me back. She said I got you, brother. Those words meant so much to me Because we've got to have each other's backs, man. We don't have each other's back, we don't. We don't got each other's back. Who does so?
Speaker 3:I'm just so thankful today. And as Krista comes, come on, krista, when I sing, I've been blessed, christa I think of you, how God has blessed you. He brought you and here you are now. And I ask her I'm not doing this to have her because Pastor Bob does it I just believe that when people are willing to do things for God, give them the opportunities that they can do whatever the Spirit leads them. So I'm thanking Krista again for stepping up to the plate, hitting the home run and just so thankful. You know I'm thankful for everything. The day you said I'm going to be with you. You said I'm going to be with my wife, I'm going to be with my kids, I'm going to be with my family, and you did Amen. So the scriptures we read today will be from 2 Timothy, 3 Timothy, 3 Timothy, verses 14 to 17. Then we'll jump over to the 4th chapter, verses 1 through 4. Crystal will read for us.
Speaker 3:When you find it. Please stand 14 to 17 in chapter 3. And chapter 4, 1 through 4. You ready for the word? All right, give it to us, hon, all right.
Speaker 2:But you continue in the things which you have learned and have been assured of knowing of whom you have learned them and that from a child you have known the holy scriptures which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith which is in Jesus Christ. All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. I charge you, therefore, for God and the Lord Jesus Christ. I charge you therefore for God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom. Preach the word, be instant, in season, out of season, reproof, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachings having itching ears and they shall turn away their ears from the truth and shall be turned unto fables.
Speaker 3:God has blessed the reading of his word. I just want to share a message today. God has blessed the reading of his word. I just want to share a message today on the importance of the scriptures, the importance of the scriptures. Let us pray, father, again, I stand in the shoes of so many men and women today that will stand and declare your word Because the scriptures are important to us. Father, I just thank you for the opportunity, lord, to stand and share with them what you share with me. You know, this week, lord, wasn't easy, but you made it possible. The word you've given me. I ask, lord, god, that the word will bless our hearts and the ears of the hearers today. So again, father, I thank you and praise you In Jesus' name. I pray Amen. You may be seated.
Speaker 3:You know, when we were here celebrating first responders at that, am I on, donna, you hear me, I'm good, okay, uh, and. And. And we sang that song I've Been Blessed. I started crying and I couldn't stop crying. I was like I mean, I was like I was throwing the air belt. I said, air belt, if something happens to me, air belt, don't step on this thing. It's in my home going. And I couldn't stop crying. I got in the car or just filled Because God is so good to me and I'm so thankful for everything, bob, he does for me. You know Church, in this universe there is God, there are people, there are things, but you know what we need to worship God, love people. We should enjoy things. When we start worshiping ourselves and we ignore God, we start loving things and using people. This probably leads to a life of godlessness but also corrupt the society in which we live, and that's what we were talking about in study.
Speaker 3:Bob says how sin and not preaching sound doctrine comes in behind truth. So, church, we get truth in us, and the only truth I know is this right here, that's the word of God. This book is a key to your life. If you don't know it, you know it now. This word is so prophetic and there's nothing it can't do.
Speaker 3:When I talk about how people are, how people do today, it characterizes the majority of people who live today. The worldwide craving for self-satisfaction is so evident that people no longer have a need for God in their lives. People will serve the creature instead of serving the creator. People have no godly direction. People are looking for all the right things in all the wrong places. People will believe the lies, failing believing the truth. People's morals are at all times low. Babies, having babies, our straights and even our straights of the killing that's going on is just crazy. Lying, stealing, cheating have become a part of everyday life for some people. But what really has become more and more of a situation and what has become more and more?
Speaker 3:of a situation what has become the norm in the world has become a norm in the church. Scripture tells people to have a form of godliness, yet deny the power thereof, from such they turn away. Sometimes you can't tell the difference. Come on, sometimes you can't tell the difference between a worldly person and a Christian person. God has called us to a higher standard. It's God who has called us to be an example of this sinful world. We are called to be the light in darkness. The world is called by and the world was told to be the salt of the earth.
Speaker 3:Jesus gave us a commission. Jesus said go into all the world. Jesus preached, baptized. That's a mission God's given us, but we have to let the world. But we have let the world creep into the church. We have laid down our Bibles. We have stopped singing the truth of God. It is the truth of God that should be most important to us, because no matter what we do or how good we do it, we must always remember the only way we do, for Christ will last, and all the crazy things going on in the world and even the things that are going on in the church are sad.
Speaker 3:That's what we got into our study about that new apostolic reformation.
Speaker 3:And I know this if you ain't got the word in you, you can be deceived so fast. The Bible tells us that the elect can be deceived so fast. The Bible tells us that the elect can be deceived. So I'm telling you, get on your knees and get in the Word that's important of the Scriptures. You know church, all the crazy things that go on in the world and even the things that are going on in the church are written in Scripture.
Speaker 3:So whatever we see going on around us should not surprise us. Why are we surprised at what's going on? It's in the Word. Nothing. God left nothing out. Everything that's going on and we can see it with our own eyes. So whatever we see going around us should not surprise us. What it should do is have us not to look around so much but to rethink so much our purpose of life, but to ask God what his purpose is in our lives. You see, church times will not get better. But who we are called, we're called by his name to separate ourselves from that which are false and get a better understanding of what God's truths are. Sometimes our priorities are not what they should be, but on one priority we as Christian should all remember, and that's the importance of the scriptures.
Speaker 3:Second, timothy we got Paul. He was virtually alone. He's in the jail cell, lucas with them. But Paul wrote this letter to pass a torch to the new generation of church leaders. He also asked for his friends to come and visit him. But they said would you come me the part, bring the word, but the ears about the word? He wrote half the New Testament ball. So he was how about us that we get close to God through his word?
Speaker 3:You know, if I look at the apostle Paul now he's facing death. He's going to die, he knows it, but he wasn't dying of a disease, in a sterile hospital with loved ones gathered around him. He was much alive, but his condition was terminal. Being convicted of the fault of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, he lay in a cell in a Roman prison, cut off from the world, with a fissure or two in his writing materials. Paul knew that soon he would be executed, so he wrote his final thoughts to his son, timothy, passing him the torch of leadership, reminding him of what was truly important and encouraged him in the faith. But this is said to be Paul's most personal letter. In Romans we see Paul as a theologian.
Speaker 4:In 1.
Speaker 3:Corinthians. We see Paul the counselor In 2 Corinthians, paul the preacher In Galatians, paul the defender In 1 Timothy and Titus. Paul was the statesman.
Speaker 2:But here in 2 Timothy.
Speaker 3:Paul was the man. He was a man with his hand in God's hand. He writes to 1 Timothy as the opposition and all others believers were faced in the church For there are you know these new and false doctrines are going around and we look at 2 Timothy.
Speaker 3:We know you are reading the last word of this faithful man of God. That last word to Timothy and to us are called by his name Church. This letter Timothy was writing back then. I mean Paul was writing back to Timothy. He's writing to us and telling us how important the scriptures are. Well, reverend Jackson, how important are the scriptures? I'm glad you asked.
Speaker 3:The scriptures are instrumental to salvation. In chapter 3, verses 14 and 15, he says but continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of knowing of whom. Thou hast heard them and learned them, and from a child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Jesus Christ Church. The Scriptures are important for your salvation. Paul's reminded Timothy to continue the things he has learned through the scriptures. See, paul was taught the scriptures early in his life by his grandmother Lois and his mother Eunice, so Timothy knew about God in an early age. Timothy probably became a Christian. After the first mission trip visit to Lystra. Timothy was Paul's son in the ministry and Timothy was taught the scriptures by Paul too. So Timothy knew the importance of the scriptures, but Paul was also telling us church remember the things we have, we've been taught.
Speaker 2:Now I don't know about you here.
Speaker 3:I don't know about your childhood I don't know but I remember the things I was taught. My dad was a Sunday school teacher, my grandfather was a deacon. They were pastors, they were preachers. You know, back when I was coming up, if mom and dad didn't take you to church, grandma and grandpa took you to church. But our children today don't even know what a church looks like in the inside.
Speaker 3:It's not the children's fault, though it's our fault as Christians. We ought to be teaching and training our children the way they should go, instead of thinking, oh, they will not depart from it. That's a principle. Proverbs 22, 6 says we are to train our children up. Train them up in the way they should go. We judge our children about the importance of knowing God. Then, when they hear the word of God, they will be convicted in their heart and accept Jesus as Lord and Savior in their lives, like we did. I don't know about you, but I went to church and my son gave a sermon on Easter morning. I partied all night having fun, drinking and partying, but I went to hear my son say a speech and I remember hearing one word from God.
Speaker 3:It had me see how Donna's sitting way in the back in the corner. That's where I was at when I heard that word. It had me get up up, take a long trip down the aisle to give my hand to the pastor and my heart to the master. The point of the scriptures, the Word of God, is so important. We're not the Word, you're lost. The Word tells us that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. That's Jesus. He was the living Word. He was our example, church that we can live this life and honor God with it. We ain't got to live like the world does. We live like Jesus tells us, to the point of on God. Then, when they hear the word, it will penetrate their hearts, because that's what goes here to your heart, when it's your heart it didn't go up to your head, it's your mind.
Speaker 3:The scriptures will do so much. You can only give them a chance, will?
Speaker 3:do so much. You can only give them a chance. The point of the scriptures is instrumental for salvation. We're not saved by believing in the Bible but by trusting and believing in Christ, who is revealed in the Bible. John 5.39 says searching descriptors for them, you think you have eternal life and they are they which testify of me. What is the relationship of the scriptures to salvation? See, the Bible reveals our need for salvation. It is a mirror that shows us we are in need to know God. See, the Bible explains church that we are all condemned or in need of a Savior, like me. I had a ticket John punched on my way to hell.
Speaker 3:I didn't know God. I heard about him but I never trusted him. One day in church I heard a word that changed my whole life and when I think about what I've been through, I could have never made it through without God. You know what John 3, 16 says, and 17 for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God sent his Son not into the world to condemn it, but that the world, through him, might be saved.
Speaker 3:Church, we must remember the importance of the scriptures, the importance. I think sometimes that some people like to come to church and their ears just tickle. I mean, people come to hear the music. But you need all this. You need the word, you need the worship. Coming together in that fellowship is so important for your soul. Church, remember the importance of the scriptures. I'm telling you that new apostolic reformation will take you where you don't need to go, and you don't want to go. That's why you got to get the word. You got the word in you. Take time to open your Bibles and read the word. Don't come and ask Bob to preach you happy. Let the word change your heart and make you happy. Yes, yes, praise the Lord, you happy.
Speaker 3:One thing about the church how important the scriptures are. But here I learned this the scriptures are instrumental for spiritual growth. You cannot grow without the word. You be grow without the Word. You'll be like this all your life. But if you want growth, you want to be who God called you to be and do what God called you to do. You need the Word.
Speaker 3:Paul's not only telling Timothy about the importance of the scriptures, but the origin of the scriptures. When you find out these things, you can go in Christ. See, god would not give his people a book they could not trust. First, because God is a God of truth, and Deuteronomy 34 tells you about truth. And Deuteronomy 3-4 tells you about truth. In John 14-6, it tells you about truth. The Holy Spirit is about truth. I have a friend. We were talking about the flesh and the spirit. Your flesh will lie to you. Have you doing all kinds of crazy stuff? Have you desired things you don't need? Things are not of God. That's what your flesh does. But your spirit, it can't lie. It's truth. The spirit will lead you and guide you to where you should go. It's amazing when I read the word, I'm just amazed how God put all this together for us, for us to learn.
Speaker 3:The Holy Spirit of God used the men of God to write. The Spirit of God used the men of God to write the word of God. The Holy Spirit of God used men of God to write the word of God. In 2 Peter 1, verse 20 to 21,. It says, knowing this first, that no prophet or scribe have any given private interpretation, for the prophecy cannot come in all times, but the word of God will come by men, holy men of God as they are holy men of God, as they are moved by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will move you church. It will have you doing things that you do to honor God. But it's the word. You've got to get the word in you, flip. You've got to get the word in you. You can't come here on Sunday, expect to get it all.
Speaker 3:Bible study important. Somebody told one time they don't go to the bicycle Bible study because they said, well, everybody is more than them. They felt uncomfortable. That's why you should come. If you don't know, come along.
Speaker 3:When I think about the writers either, inspired by the Holy Spirit, the revelation of the Holy Spirit. The revelation is that which God has revealed to me about himself, on what he requires of man. You think about inspiration. Inspiration has to do with the recording of this communication, a way that is dependable. Did you have biblical inspiration? It's a supernatural influence of the Holy Spirit on the Bible's writers, which guarantee that what they wrote was accurate and trustworthy. The importance of the scriptures.
Speaker 3:Church is instrumental for your growth. You want to be a baby all your life. You want to grow in the knowledge of God. Get the word. You need the word. Coming to church is not going to save you. It'll help you. It'll help you to get knowledge, help get your understanding. But church, the word is so important.
Speaker 3:And I think I got up here studying and I was talking about how people like to come to church under the air stick. They come for entertainment. I know a guy who can go like this take his handkerchief, throw it in the air, turn around and catch it. People go. Oh, they get all excited about that. And I said I said what is that? I said what did he say when he was preaching? I said what did he say when he was preaching? I don't know.
Speaker 3:So that tells you that when it comes to the word, you got to get the word in. You'll know the word. They can't come and just tell you anything. You'll know the word. The word will set you free. Hallelujah, because the scripture of God's by give our inspiration of God and our accurate and trustworthy Paul says that they are profitable for doctor. What I mean?
Speaker 3:Profitable doctrine? That's teaching us what is right in the sight of God For we prove, to convict us, what is not right in the sight of God For correction, showing us how to get right in the sight of God. You know you got to get right. You ain't born right, you got to get right. That's what the word of God will do for you to get you right. It's instruction from righteousness. It tells us how to stay right on the side of god once. To get right. Then you got to stay right. You got to stay right and that's what those scriptures will do for you. My favorite scriptures Romans 15, for it says whatsoever. Things were written a fourth time were written for our learning. That we do. Patience and confidence of scriptures might have a hope. Put your hope in Money, cars, people, I don't care what it is. If it's not God, you better get another direction in your life.
Speaker 2:It's so important the word of God is so important church.
Speaker 3:I look sometimes. I look around, I see people sitting and I wonder are they getting it? I don't know. But you know you can fool people all the time, but you can't fool God. You can't fool God.
Speaker 4:God knows everything. If you know the number of hairs on Daniel's head you think you don't know what George is doing.
Speaker 3:The word of God is so important, John. It's important for us to be who we need to be and we want to be, and God desires us to be this church. When I walk through the door this morning, I can feel the Holy Spirit of God.
Speaker 3:You can feel the Spirit of God in this place, because that's what we're getting taught. We got a pastor. I'm saying my path. He got to work with him. Yeah, he got the word in him and he shares it with us and he helps us. What's so? Plus, I saw these big churches never. You know, mother, one thing about a big church you can slip in and you can slip out here. You can't slip in here and slip out of here. It's amazing. I remember my wife used to tell me she said Donna Marsh said all right, we're going to church today. Don't stand talking to everybody. I want to get home. Now I'm standing down the street waiting for her Because she likes the fellowship with our church family.
Speaker 3:See, that's what the word will do for you. It'll put desire in your heart you don't even know you have. It'll wake you up, Start you on your way. It's a word. It's God's word to us. He loves us so much he sent us only God and son. Amen, brother. We're talking about being perfect, but not about perfect not sinning. We're talking about being complete. That's what it means being perfect To be fit and in fit condition, George, for fit that God will use you you ain't got no word in you, you're lost, you have no foundation.
Speaker 3:2 Timothy 2, 21 says if a man therefore purges himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified and meet for the mass of Jews and prepared unto every good work. That's what the word will do for you, church. 2 Timothy 2.15. You go to the church and they're teaching a sharing sound doctrine.
Speaker 4:My Bible says God got an answer for that.
Speaker 3:If you're somewhere and you're not getting, I'm telling you. I said God sends out gifts waiting for everybody to come. Take a wrap and let me launch around you. He loves us so much he gave his son for us.
Speaker 2:You got to study the word. You got to take time. It takes time to study.
Speaker 3:It takes time I know you got to get the kids up in the morning, got to get them ready for school, get them something to eat. But I'm telling you, during that time of day, there's time for you to open up the word, there's time for you to read a devotion, something to get the word into you. I can't help it, but the word is so important to me, it's so important to me I could talk about it all day.
Speaker 4:The importance of the scriptures.
Speaker 3:You know, church, when I talk about the importance of the scriptures, how instrumental it is. Sharing the gospel, the gospel of Jesus Christ, is the most important thing in your life. When you got God first, I look at an umbrella. When God's first, everything else can line up. If you don't have God first, I'm telling you, you'll be out of order. You've got to have God first. If God's first, he'll get, you'll get the word in you. You can't help it. How many times have you been sad or things are going around and you pick up the word and there's something that fits you right like nothing else. That's the word. Barry, the word will do that for you. No word, no peace. No word, no joy. No word, no peace. No word, no joy. No word, no hope. You can't hope for something else, but you can't hope for God. It's so important, the scriptures, church. Somebody comes in with some false doctrine, we go, but they end up on this oh, that's not of God. But if you don't have the word, you'll just be lost. You will go upstream instead of downstream. Sharing the gospel is so important.
Speaker 3:My wife has a job at the tanning place and every day she comes home she shares with me somebody I'm from a guest and this lady said Denise, did you open the tan today? My wife said no, well, when are you up to 10 today? I said no, well, when are you up to? She said tomorrow. I'll be up here tomorrow. She lets her light shine because she's got the word in her. When I talk to her sometimes I get mad. Bob, I'm trying to go to Scripture and she's answering it and she gives me an ending before I can get it out. But that's what God will do for you. The Word is that important. Paul tells Timothy and Paul's telling us. He's telling all preachers to preach the Word, also be judged and held responsible and accountable for what they did and what they didn't preach in the sight of God. Think about that, daniel. You can't stand up here and say anything. You got to give word to your brother. Give him the word.
Speaker 4:Stand up and say anything you got to get word in your mouth. Give them the word.
Speaker 3:And it's amazing when you get done preaching sometimes. Sometimes I'm so tired and beat, but there's a joy in it. I'm speaking with joy in the word of God. So Paul said preach the word, be into this season, out of this season, preach a good time, bad time, preach to one that you're preaching to a thousand. I remember God said here's to go preach at the Louis Church and he said, ah, there'll be hardly nobody there and he didn't study like he should have. He said when he came on, study like he should have. He said when he came out back to step in the pulpit, he said that church was packed. It was packed. And he said I'll never do that again. I'm going to prepare myself to preach the gospel. You've got to prepare yourself for your children's sake, for your husband's sake. Somebody in your family, a family, a friend, give the word the world set of three to judge.
Speaker 3:Paul knew the last days, everyone that comes to church is not I come to hear the word, but they want to be entertained. I'm telling you what I told you before a lot of my black friends. They want to know why I'm in a white church, why Not in, and first thing, when they say that I realize where they're at spiritually. If they ask me that question, why am I here? Why in a new church that speaks volumes about where they're at spiritually? Because you can't go unless God sends you. You got to be what God wants you to be. I'm here to battle God, because this is where God brought me to and I love it here. I love it here. I love you. God is so good to me. I thought I've been blessed by God. You're the reason I say that because I'm blessed to be with Kirk. He always wants to erase me, but you know.
Speaker 4:But I said good.
Speaker 3:Oh Cal, give me a head start.
Speaker 4:But it's an amazing church.
Speaker 3:You know, Scripture tells us and Luke, for whom much is given, much is required, and that's used for the instrumental sharing of the gospel. The word should be preached with conviction and reproof. It should be preached with rebuke and warning. It should be preached with exhort and appeal that we should start seeking God in our lives so that I would just change your life.
Speaker 3:Give God a chance. Don't just come to church to be a pew warmer. You want to be more than that. You want to be a child of God. You want to know the word. You want to live. You want the word more than that. You want to be a child of God. You want to know the word. You want to live. You want the word to live through. You want to share Christ.
Speaker 4:I was just nurturing on me yesterday. This guy said John, you got a gift with people, people will just love you lady's sleeping.
Speaker 3:I walk in, she cut her eyes, I preach her. Or or this guy, he got a cane all the time. Hold this cane like you. Don't hit me with it, but it's just a fact that they see something that they like. They see something.
Speaker 3:They know, that's good and that's my life in Christ. We all have the opportunity church to be a light of darkness, but it be a joy church we all know we have family member, got friends that aren't saved. Get word in you and you can share the word with them and God's word is so many great things.
Speaker 3:It's deliverance, healing, love, peace, joy, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness. All these things are in the word of God. If you want, let me ask this question Anybody that does not want to be delivered by something? Something got you, something got all of us. But how much does he have? If you got God's word in you, it might be like a pinch, but if you got God's word, you'll be able to stand the wiles of Satan who wants to come and destroy your life.
Speaker 3:In Proverbs 3, 5 it says trust in the Lord with all thy heart and need not that I own understanding. All those ways acknowledge God. Philippians 2 8 says let this mind be in you. That was in Christ Jesus, but I love Psalm 23. The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want he maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He leads me besides the still water. He restore my soul. He leads me in the path of righteousness for his name's sake. Then he says Yea, though I walk through the valley of death, I will fear no evil. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies. Thou anointest my head with oil, and with oil my cup runneth over. Surely goodness, come on church. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the day of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. That's the word, hallelujah. There's such a joy I made so many bad days I had Debbie.
Speaker 3:I remember we used to pray for Ian. Remember down in Valley, god praying for you. Just think about how you've been. God has blessed you and you see fruit on the tree. You know I was on a porch and I told my wife I said I'm going to preach and I said I'm going to get something to close out. You know, close out real good. You know what she told me Do like Pastor Bob said I'm finished.
