Who Has Authority to Bind the Conscience?

Summary

The sermon emphasizes the principle of *sola scriptura*, asserting that only the Bible possesses the ultimate authority to bind an individual's conscience. While acknowledging the value of church tradition, councils, and creeds for instruction, it clearly distinguishes their role from the non-negotiable authority of Scripture. The takeaway is that individuals should ground their conscience solely in the written Word of God, not in human pronouncements or traditions.
