DEVOTED: Scripture Alone

What does it actually mean to trust the Bible, and can we back that up with something more than 'because I was taught to'? This message takes us on a fascinating journey through history, archaeology, and scripture itself to answer one of the most honest questions a believer can ask. We explore how 40 different authors, writing across 1,500 years on three continents in three different languages, produced a single unified story held together by over 63,000 cross-references -- a feat that simply cannot be explained by human coordination alone. We also tackle some of the most common myths circulating today about how the Bible came together, including the popular claim that Constantine created or rewrote it. The evidence tells a very different story, and understanding it gives our faith a foundation that goes far deeper than tradition or habit. At the heart of it all is a truth drawn from 2 Timothy 3:16, where Paul describes all scripture as breathed out by God -- not assembled by committees or emperked by emperors, but exhaled by the living God himself. If we have been carrying doubts or simply never had the tools to answer the hard questions, this is the conversation we have needed to have.
