: The Synod of Dort: Sola Scriptura, Exegesis, and Theology (1 Peter 3)
How do we faithfully navigate deep theological disagreements when sincere believers come to opposing conclusions using the same Bible? Building on our foundation of sound exegesis—drawing truth out of Scripture rather than forcing our own systems into it—this message introduces the historical and theological flashpoint of the Synod of Dort (1618–1619). Welcome to Let’s Talk with Rocky Stevenson Pastor of Benoni Bible Church.
We trace how the Protestant Reformation restored the clarity and authority of the plain sense of God's Word, giving rise to the debates surrounding Jacobus Arminius and the Remonstrance. By examining passages like 1 Peter 3:15, Nehemiah 8:8, Acts 17:11, and 1 Corinthians 4:6, we are reminded that our theological systems must always serve the Bible, never master it. As we prepare to walk through the history, controversy, and doctrines of grace behind the Canons of Dort, we are called to hold our Bibles open and cultivate the noble posture of the Bereans.
Take time this week to open your Bible, read through Ephesians 2, and gently reflect on what the text is actually saying.
