1689 Baptist Confession of Faith: Holy Scriptures - Introduction and Article 1

In this lesson, Michael Naaktgeboren introduced the Sunday school series on the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith (or the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith) and part of the first article of chapter one: Of the Holy Scriptures.

1._____ The Holy Scripture is the only sufficient, certain, and infallible rule of all saving knowledge, faith, and obedience, although the light of nature, and the works of creation and providence do so far manifest the goodness, wisdom, and power of God, as to leave men inexcusable; yet are they not sufficient to give that knowledge of God and his will which is necessary unto salvation. Therefore it pleased the Lord at sundry times and in divers manners to reveal himself, and to declare that his will unto his church; and afterward for the better preserving and propagating of the truth, and for the more sure establishment and comfort of the church against the corruption of the flesh, and the malice of Satan, and of the world, to commit the same wholly unto writing; which maketh the Holy Scriptures to be most necessary, those former ways of God's revealing his will unto his people being now ceased.
( 2 Timothy 3:15-17; Isaiah 8:20; Luke 16:29, 31; Ephesians 2:20; Romans 1:19-21; Romans 2:14,15; Psalms 19:1- 3; Hebrews 1:1; Proverbs 22:19-21; Romans 15:4; 2 Peter 1:19,20 )

Thanks so much for posting this series!! I've been searching for something like this to study through the 1689 confession of faith. Praise God!- from your Texas sister.

I've been thinking about working with a few men from our church to go through the 1689 in small groups. My hope is to go through your series to help familiarize myself with the confession in order to facilitate discussion, raise questions, and work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. Do you have any other recommended resources for diving deeper into the 1689?
