DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this sermon, the speaker emphasizes the importance of studying and
listening to the word of God. They mention going through the Bible
multiple times in different programs, and each time, they discover
something new with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The speaker
highlights the need for the Spirit of God to be our teacher and the only
one who can truly illuminate the meaning of Scripture. They reference
Bishop Hadley's statement that there is more meaning in every word of
Holy writ than we can ever comprehend. The sermon concludes with a
reminder from Dr. Robinson to be open to receiving new truths from the
written word of God.

CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

And may I say that it follows from that in illumination that only the
Spirit of God is the one that can teach us today. That's what Bishop
Hadley meant when he said, there's more meaning in every word of Holy
Writ than we shall ever get out of it. And it was Dr. Robinson, pastor
in Leyden, who reminded the pilgrims when they set out from Holland, he
said this to them, "...the Lord has more truth yet to break forth from
his holy word.

Luther and Calvin were great shining lights in their times, yet they
penetrated not the whole counsel of God. Be ready to receive whatever
truth shall be made known to you from the written word of God." And
that, my friend, is the thrill of going through the Bible like this. You
know what? I've never been through it, and I've been through it now a
dozen times, teaching it like this, one-year program, one-and-a-half-
year program, two-year program, two-and-a-half-year program, and now a
five-year program of going through the Bible.

And very candidly, every time something new breaks forth from the page
because the Spirit of God must be our teacher, we're in for a wonderful
treat if we'll just listen to that still, small voice of the Word of God
as He speaks to us from the page of Scripture, and He's wanting to speak
to us.
