Basics of the Faith Part 5 | The Bible

In Part 5 of "Basics of the Faith," Pastor Drew Webb explores one of the most foundational questions of the Christian life: what is the Bible, and why can we trust it? Beginning with the remarkable discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, this sermon traces how Scripture came to us, examines five qualities that set the Bible apart — inspiration, inerrancy, clarity, and sufficiency — and offers a simple, memorable tool for engaging with God's Word daily. Grounded in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, this teaching is both a defense of Scripture's reliability and a practical call to know it more deeply. Topics covered: the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Canon of Scripture, plenary verbal inspiration, the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, the perspicuity of Scripture, and the Word Hand Illustration (hearing, reading, studying, memorizing, meditating). Part of the "Basics of the Faith" teaching series.
