Can You Trust the Bible?

Seeing the World Through a Biblical Lens

What does it mean to say the Bible is true?
Can Scripture really be trusted in a world filled with conflicting opinions, changing values, and uncertainty?

In this message from our Seeing the World Through a Biblical Lens series, we explore one of the most important questions a person can ask: Is the Bible truly the Word of God?

Teaching from John 17 and many other passages throughout Scripture, this sermon examines the doctrine of biblical inerrancy—the belief that God’s Word is trustworthy, authoritative, and without error because it comes from the very nature and character of God Himself.

Sermon Overview

Throughout this message, we discover that Scripture is not merely “helpful advice” or inspirational literature. The Bible presents itself as the very breath of God—truth revealed to humanity through prophets, apostles, and ultimately through Jesus Christ Himself.

This sermon explores:

• Why Christians believe the Bible is completely trustworthy
• What the “inerrancy of Scripture” actually means
• How the character of God guarantees the truthfulness of His Word
• Why Jesus continually affirmed the authority of Scripture
• The difference between something being “true” and being “the truth”
• How God’s Word becomes the lens through which we understand life, culture, relationships, and purpose

The message also addresses the growing confusion in modern culture surrounding truth, authority, and spirituality—and why Scripture remains the unchanging foundation believers can trust.
