BIG SKY BIBLE CHURCH OUR PURPOSE: The Glorifying of God Big Sky is a small congregation of people from Billings and the surrounding areas. We come from various walks of life but are bound together by certain biblical truths which give us our purpose in meeting together and direct our lives as individuals: 1 Peter 4:11 - "If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen." As we assemble we seek to glorify God and worship Him in spirit and in truth: John 4:23-24 - "But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." In spirit: the unseen spiritual realities of heavenly things as revealed in Jesus Christ and recorded in the word of God. In truth: Jesus Christ is the truth (unveiled reality) and is clearly presented as such in the scripture. He is the only vehicle of true spiritual worship where by man can correctly worship God the Father. John 14:6-7 - "Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. 7 "If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him." OUR CORE; OUR BELIEFS: The Inspired Word of God: Believing the bible is the inspired word (the writers wrote exactly what God intended): 2 Timothy 3:16-17 - "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." Our Authority: We willingly accept the authority of the scriptures in all things pertaining to life and godliness. Our Sufficiency: We believe that the scripture is sufficient and complete and we need no other writings of men to know God and live a life pleasing to Him. The Preeminence and Centrality of Christ: We believe the mind will and purposes of God are eternally centered in Christ and God has determined that in all things Jesus Christ should have first place. Colossians 1:16-20 - "For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things
