Living Life Well — Week 5

Why place so much weight on the Bible? This core-value message makes the case that Scripture is reliable, historically accurate, and relevant today. From 2 Timothy 3 , all Scripture is God-breathed and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness. The teaching surveys the manuscript evidence, over six thousand early New Testament copies with remarkable consistency, the meticulous work of Old Testament scribes, and the Dead Sea Scrolls' confirmation across centuries. Archaeological discoveries, from Nineveh to Hezekiah's tunnel, repeatedly vindicate the biblical record rather than overturn it. Yet historical reliability is not the goal. James 1 warns that merely listening to the word while failing to do it is self-deception; the point is to apply Scripture to every area of life, where it has the power to transform.
