Speaker: Tony Lee, with Mark Vance
January 29, 2026 · 35 min
Summary
Using historical evidence, internal consistency, and transformative power, this sermon defends the Bible's trustworthiness and truthfulness. Luke's eyewitness testimony, external corroboration from historians like Josephus, manuscript quality and quantity, and the biblical narrative's unified testimony to Jesus demonstrate the Bible is credible historical writing. The sermon concludes by showing Jesus as the central figure throughout all 66 books.
Highlights
The way to understand the Bible and the core essence and themes and teachings of it is to read the Word of God not take one verse out of context.
First you read the Bible and then the Bible reads you. First you study it and then it studies you and it exposes your brokenness.
Christians don't read the Bible only to accumulate facts about God. The central figure of the Bible is King Jesus. We read the Bible to get to know him.
