Scripture as Sacred Conversation

play Play pause Pause
In this final reflection of the Wesleyan Quadrilateral series, Pastor James Henry turns to Scripture, inviting listeners to approach the Bible not primarily as a rulebook or proof-text, but as a living conversation partner through which God continues to speak. Drawing on the practice of Lectio Divina and the understanding of Scripture as emerging from inspired oral traditions, James reflects on the Bible as the faithful human attempt to express encounters with the Divine through story, poetry, prayer, and vision. He acknowledges Scripture’s deep authority while emphasizing that its meaning unfolds differently for each person, shaped by experience, reason, and community. Ultimately, he encourages listeners to read Scripture seriously, prayerfully, and openly—allowing it to question, comfort, challenge, and shape them as they seek to know God and themselves more deeply.
