What is the true theme of the Bible? Though there are many possible answers, the overarching message we read is one of authority, for the authority of God stands above everything else. God is sovereign; He alone has the ultimate authority, and none are above him. So, how do we make sense of this theme? How do we construct the larger picture to recognize this authority? KINGDOM AUTHORITY: Understanding the Bible through Authority As Children of Light in the Kingdom of Darkness by Pastor Tracy Benningfield is all about understanding the Bible through the lens of Kingdom Authority. Pastor Tracy shows readers how authority is the true center point of scripture and that by understanding how authority works, we can better perceive who we are in Christ, the victory we have in Christ, and the authority found in being a believer. The consequences of separating from Him and the fall of man to sin are also crucial in comprehending God's sovereign authority. Understanding the Bible scripture by scripture is like putting together a puzzle; once you construct the framework, it becomes easy to connect the pieces and understand how it all fits together. Once you've put it together for the first time and seen the larger picture, you can make sense of the whole puzzle discovering the place for each piece. Join Pastor Tracy in putting the pieces together and discovering how to emerge from the darkness to become a child of light.
