The Bible: How We Got It, Why We Can Trust It

In this special episode of the podcast, I present a quick overview on how the Bible came into being and why we can trust it as God’s Word for us. I’ve been thinking about doing a presentation like this for a long time, but never got around to it. Then the elders at Living Water Lutheran Church in Centerville, Ohio, asked me to give what they’re calling a Jed Talk during the Sunday School hour. I chose this topic, then prayed—a lot—and prepared.If you’re interested in learning more on this topic, I suggest two books:Why Should I Trust the Bible by A. Trevor SuttonHow We Got the Bible by Timothy Paul Jones I hope you find the slide presentation here helpful.

Life Under God the Father

This episode covers Matthew 6:16-7:14.This week, I leaned heavily on the great commentary by Jeffrey A. Gibbs. I recommend it to those who want to take a deep dive into Matthew’s narrative.I also reference Martin Luther’s Small Catechism. This is where you can purchase the edition from which I read; you might want to buy it for your Bible study group or congregation. (No, I don’t get a cut on the sale of those items.)You hear me in this episode talking with people. These episodes begin as live casts on Facebook, where people leave comments and greetings.
