“CELEBRATING THE WRITTEN WORD”

The AUCKLAND WRITERS & READERS FESTIVAL is all about “Celebrating the Written Word”.

At the beginning of the brochure telling us all about the Festival is a word from the mayor (Len Brown with picture) and a word from the chair (Dr Sarah Sandley with picture).

“Celebrating the Written word”.

The Word of God is another title for Bible!

A word from me is: LET US CELEBRATE THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD!

*******************************

The Bible is also called “the Scriptures” and “the Writings”.

“BIBLOS” means “a book” in the Greek language and the word “Bible” comes from the Greek word “biblos”.

Sermon Outline OT (NIV)

“For I resolved

to know nothing while

I was with you

except Jesus Christ and

him crucified.”
