Chatham The Bible is God’s inspired word. It tells the story of God, His love, and His people. Beginning with creation and working through the history of Israel until the first century, the Bible tells how God continues to bring humanity back to him. Through the Bible we receive God’s commands, we learn of His love and His will, and we see what our purpose is. God’s word is our guide in life helping us gain truth, wisdom, strength, and hope.
