Kitchen Table Theology
Where Coffee, Conversation, and Theology Meet. During my 40 years in ministry, I’ve developed an increasing burden for what I sense to be an increase in biblical illiteracy, not only among those in our churches, but also in the young men and women entering the ministry. Conversely, I am hopeful, because I also sense a hunger from people to learn and know biblical truth and the things of God has revealed to us in Scripture. Our Kitchen Table Theology team has developed a list of over 150 doctrinal topics which I, along with one of my cohosts, Jen Denton or Tiffany Coker, examine weekly. Our goal is to educate and share biblical truth on the same level as if we were sitting at your kitchen table with a Bible and a pot of southern pecan coffee in front of us. Welcome to the table!

Episode Summary
In this episode, Pastor Jeff tackles a topic frequently discussed among people, both young and old: determining God’s will. How can we know what God wants us to do? The first step is to turn to God’s Word. Jeff and Jen discuss the question, “Is Scripture sufficient for what I need to know in this life?”
Topics We Discussed in this Episode
● [5:34] To say the Scriptures are sufficient means that the Bible is all we need to equip us for a life of faith and service. Scripture contains all the words of God that God intends for His people to have: words we need for salvation, for trusting Him perfectly, and for obeying Him.
● [9:20] The Bible, through King David, declares itself more than sufficient for us in all that we might need for this life.
● [10:24] Why is sufficiency of Scripture so important?
● [17:05] Immerse yourself daily with the Scriptures. They are sufficient for all that we need for life and godliness. He reveals His will for us in His Word so be careful to follow the guidance of Scripture.
