Title: #4 WCF 1:5-6 Of the Holy Scripture
Speaker: Paul Flynn
Series: The Westminster Witness
Date: 3 July 2026
The podcast examines the Westminster Confession of Faith to explain how believers attain assurance in Scripture's divine authority through both external evidences and the inward witness of the Holy Spirit. It emphasizes the church's vital role in fostering a reverent esteem for the Bible while clarifying that ultimate conviction comes from spiritual illumination rather than institutional testimony. The discussion highlights the principle of good and necessary consequence, demonstrating how doctrinal truths are deduced from the whole counsel of God without adding new special revelation. Additionally, it addresses the sufficiency of Scripture by distinguishing between essential doctrines and practical circumstances governed by Christian prudence and the light of nature. This approach of the Confession ensures that the practice of the Church remains grounded in biblical truth while allowing for orderly worship and church governance. sermonaudio.com/sermons/7426119325871
