We started our series with a speaking God, and we went through some of the attributes of Scripture — sufficient, clear, authoritative and necessary. Then we studied about the Canon of the Bible, how we have the set of books in our bibles today. Last week, we spoke about how Scripture cannot be broken.

(B) The Princely Price (Gen 23:4-16)
(C) The Promised Property (Gen 23:17-30)
