The Authority of the Bible

Josh Stalnaker

“Who’s in charge here?” That’s a question we might ask in all sorts of areas of life. But it’s also a question we should each ask of our lives as a whole. God’s word is meant to be the final authority in our lives—He alone has the right to say what is true, good, and right. Since the very beginning we’ve struggled with trusting God’s authority and we are prone to live in all sorts of ways that undermine His authority, But the truth is, God’s Word is final because He is God. But He is also good. And so His authoritative word is always good for us. Like a loving Father who sets boundaries to keep His children safe, God’s commands are meant to help us thrive—not to harm or hurt us. Living under God’s Word brings life and flourishing but denying it or ignoring it leads to destruction and death. And God’s Word isn’t just advice we can choose to follow or ignore—it’s an authoritative word that demands a response. We are invited to trust it fully, believe all it teaches, and obey all it requires, knowing that His Word is for our good.

Genesis 3:1-7

The Reliability of the Bible

Kyle Kauffman

The Bible is completely true and trustworthy because it comes from the God who cannot lie. Every word is rooted in His character, confirmed through history, eyewitness testimony, fulfilled prophecy, and the unchanging message that points us to Jesus. God has faithfully preserved His Word through countless manuscripts and careful transmission over time, so we can be confident that what we hold today is His truth. In a world filled with confusion, shifting opinions, and overwhelming information, God’s Word is our steady anchor. It protects us from the lies of the enemy, points us to what is real and lasting, and helps us filter everything through the lens of His truth. As we stand on the truth of Scripture we are standing on the solid rock of God’s unchanging Word.

The God of the Bible

Kyle Kauffman

God is not silent. He speaks! From the very beginning, God spoke the world into existence, and creation continues to pour forth His speech and reveal Him. The earth and the heavens preach His majesty, but as glorious as this revelation is, it is not enough to save us. We need more than the stars in the sky and the wonders of the world—we need the Bible, God’s Word. God has spoken through the Scriptures and He continues to speak to us today through His written Word, assuring us it is not just another book but the very Word of God. And ultimately, God has spoken most clearly through His Son, Jesus Christ—the Word made flesh. God is not silent. He speaks! This should lead us to cherish and meditate on His Word so that we might know and enjoy Him.

Psalm 19; Hebrews 1:1-3
