Why You Can Trust the Bible

Is the Bible just a collection of old stories, or is it the "Firm Foundation" for your life? In this installment of our "Firm Foundation" message series, Pastor Tim Ashley takes us deep into the structure, history, and supernatural unity of the Word of God.

Whether you are a long-time believer or just curious about the Bible’s origins, this message will help you understand why we can trust this as God's Word.

In this video, Pastor Tim explores:

The Wise vs. Foolish Builder: Why listening to and following Jesus’ teaching is like building your house on solid rock (Matthew 7:24-27).

The Structure of the Word: A breakdown of the two Testaments and the five major Covenants.

A Supernatural History: How 40 authors, writing over 1,550 years across three continents, produced one unified, consistent message.

The "Canon" Standard: How the 66 books were evaluated for truth and divine inspiration.

Translations & Versions: Understanding the difference between "word-for-word" and "thought-for-thought" translations.

Key Scripture References:

Matthew 7:24-27 – Building on the Rock.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 – All Scripture is God-breathed.

Hebrews 4:12 – The Word is living and active.

Key Takeaway:

The Bible’s unity could not happen by chance; it could only happen by supernatural direction.
