In this message Pastor Byron addresses how the Bible’s canon came together, explaining that the 66 books we have today were not arbitrarily chosen by church councils but were recognized through God’s providential leading. He examines how Christ affirmed the Old Testament canon and demonstrates that the process of canonization was guided by specific standards that confirmed which books were truly inspired by God.

In this message Pastor Byron defends the historical reliability of the Bible against critics who claim biblical figures like Abraham and Moses never existed or that the Bible is merely Jewish fable. He demonstrates that if God is truly God and the Bible is His inspired Word, it should be correct in all areas it addresses, including history, and shows how archaeology and external evidence increasingly confirm the Bible’s historical accuracy.

In this message Pastor Byron examines scientific statements in the Bible that demonstrate its supernatural origin, showing how Scripture accurately described scientific facts centuries before modern science discovered them. Though the Bible is not a science textbook, when it speaks to scientific matters in areas like astronomy and biology, it does so with remarkable accuracy that points to divine inspiration.

In this message Pastor Byron explores biblical prophecy as evidence for trusting God’s Word, demonstrating that if God is truly God, His prophets should write about the future with the same certainty historians write about the past. He examines specific Old Testament prophecies, including predictions about Edom and messianic prophecies, that were fulfilled with remarkable accuracy, proving that God stands in both our present and our future.

In this message Pastor Byron begins a series on trusting the Bible by addressing the question of divine inspiration, starting with what the Bible says about itself. While critics claim circular reasoning when Christians say the Bible is God’s Word because it claims to be, Pastor Byron argues the Bible deserves to speak for itself just as any defendant has the right to present their case, before examining external evidence like prophecy, science, and history.
