WHAT WE BELIEVE: THE HOLY BIBLE

At Word of Faith Assemblies (W.O.F.A.), our beliefs are grounded in the Scriptures, which we hold as the inerrant and infallible Word of God. In a world full of varied opinions and interpretations, we stand firmly on the conviction that the Bible is the ultimate authority in all matters pertaining to faith and life.

We recognize that the Bible, comprised of 66 books, was divinely inspired by God and penned by human authors who were guided by the Holy Spirit. This belief is supported by references such as 2 Samuel 23:1-3 and 2 Peter 1:20-21.

Our understanding of Scripture is not merely academic; it shapes our identity and informs our community and individual lives.

AUTHORITY OF SCRIPTURE

The doctrine we uphold is known as verbal plenary inspiration, which asserts that every word in the Bible is God-breathed. When we refer to Scripture as authoritative, we believe that it holds ultimate truth and reliability, extending to all aspects of faith, daily living, and moral guidance. Psalm 119:160 highlights the timeless nature of God's Word, defining it as absolute truth that never wavers.

In a culture where opinions shift like the wind, we find stability and certainty in the Scriptures.

This perspective means that as a community of believers, we prioritize the reading, studying, and application of God's Word in our daily lives. It also propels us to explore its depths, seeking understanding and wisdom that can only be given through the Holy Spirit.

GOD'S CHARACTER AND REDEMPTIVE PLAN

At W.O.F.A., we understand that the Scriptures reveal not only God's character but also His redemptive plan for humanity. From Genesis to Revelation, we see a continuous thread of God’s engagement with His creation, calling people into relationship with Him.

Our belief in God's sovereignty signals that He is actively involved in the world, guiding history toward His ultimate purpose. The stories, teachings, and prophecies found in the Bible serve to illuminate God's will and showcase His unwavering love and grace.

By embracing the biblical narrative, we cultivate a deeper understanding of who God is and how He desires to connect with us.

As members of our assembly, we are encouraged to reflect this character in our own lives—acting with love, grace, and compassion towards one another and the world around us. It is this reflection that allows us to be vessels of God's hope and light in a darkened world.

APPLYING GOD'S WORD TO OUR LIVES

We are deeply committed to teaching, living, and applying the Word of God in its fullness. It is through Scripture that lives are transformed, faith is built, and God’s Kingdom is advanced. We believe that engaging with the Bible leads not only to personal growth but also fosters a culture of discipleship within our community.

Transformation begins with understanding God's intentions for our lives as revealed in the text. We encourage the congregation to not just familiarize themselves with the Scriptures but to passionately apply its truths in their everyday decisions, relationships, and interactions.

This process of application invites everyone into an intimate relationship with God, nurturing spiritual maturity and empowering individuals to serve others.

As we integrate the teachings of the Bible into our daily routines, we bear witness to the remarkable changes that come about within us and in our communities. Each act of love, kindness, and service echoes God's heart for humanity and encourages others to seek Him.

BUILDING A COMMUNITY OF FAITH

At the heart of W.O.F.A. is a community that values the connection between believers, driven by a shared commitment to uphold biblical truths. In a world that often emphasizes individualism, we stand united, recognizing the profound strength of community grounded in the Word of God.

Fellowship within our assemblies becomes an extension of our belief in the Scriptures. We engage in small groups, Bible studies, and communal worship to deepen our knowledge of God's Word and its application to our lives.

These communal experiences become crucial, as they encourage accountability, spiritual growth, and the sharing of life’s joys and challenges. Fellow believers provide essential support, reminding us of the truth of Scripture and helping each other navigate life's complexities.

By building strong relationships rooted in faith, we position ourselves to be more effective witnesses of God’s love and truth in our broader communities.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, our beliefs at Word of Faith Assemblies are not simply a list of doctrines but vibrant truths that guide our lives. We are committed to the authority, inerrancy, and infallibility of Scripture, recognizing its divine inspiration and ultimate truth.

As we engage with the Bible, we discover God’s character, His purpose for humanity, and His transformative power. We endeavor to apply these truths in our lives, fostering a community of believers that reflects God’s love and grace.

Faith at W.O.F.A. is about living out these beliefs in daily practice—transforming not only our lives but also impacting those around us. We invite you to join us as we walk together in faith, guided by the Scriptures that define who we are.
