A Vision for Tenth Church, presented by Dr. Liam Goligher: Videotaped March 19
A Vision for Tenth Church, presented by Dr. Liam Goligher: Videotaped March 19 : You have exalted above all things your name and your word. Psalm 138:2 During the last couple of months, our parishes have been meeting for Tenth Vision Nights to hear from Liam about the vision he and our session believe God has for Tenth Church as we move forward by faith.

SCRIPTURES ALONE ARE THE SUPREME JUDGE OF CONTROVERSY. “IX. (2) The practice of Christ and his apostles confirms this for in the controversies of faith they appeal to the Scriptures (Mt.4.4, 6-7; 22.29; Jn.5.39; 10.34-35; Acts 17.2, 11; 18.28; 26.22) and profess to know nothing beside Moses and the prophets (Lk.24.44; Acts 26.22).

The Bereans are commended (acts 17.11) for comparing what they heard with the rule of the Scriptures, not consulting any oracle of infallibility. On the contrary, the Pharisees and Sadducees are condemned because they departed from them (Mt.15.3; 22.29)." Turretin, Francis. "The Institutes of Elenctic Theology." Phillipsburg, NJ: P&R, 1992.
