Streamed live on May 26, 2021 The King James Bible5/26/21 - David O’Steen - https://www.hopebiblechurchga.comSummary of Pastor David O’Steen’s Sermon: “KJB (8) - An Illustration (Jer. 36)”In this message from Hope Bible Church, Pastor David O’Steen uses Jeremiah 36 as a powerful illustration of the inspiration, power, and preservation of God’s Word, specifically defending the King James Bible as the preserved, authoritative Scripture.He explains that God commanded Jeremiah to dictate all His words to Baruch, who wrote them on a scroll (inspiration; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21). This was not human opinion but God’s eternal Word.When Baruch publicly read the scroll, it powerfully convicted the hearers—princes feared, hid it, and urged caution (power; Hebrews 4:12). The Word forces a decision: believe, reject, or compromise.King Jehoiakim arrogantly burned the scroll to destroy it, yet this attack failed completely (Satan’s futile opposition). God simply instructed Jeremiah to rewrite it, adding even more words (preservation; Psalm 12:6-7). The king’s rebellion contrasted with Josiah’s earlier humility and led to judgment.O’Steen stresses that God’s Word endures forever despite human attempts to alter or destroy it. He urges believers to trust, obey, and defend the preserved Bible against modern criticisms or changes, living by its unchanging truth.
