Give Me the Bible - Lesson 11 - Because It Tells Me The Horrors of Hell - Robert Taylor

In this sobering lesson, we examine why God’s Word must be our guide because it plainly reveals the horrors of hell.

Give Me the Bible - Lesson 13 - Because It's Inspiration Is Shown by It's Prophetic Accuracy - Wayne Brewer

In this lesson, we examine how the prophetic accuracy of Scripture demonstrates its divine inspiration. The Bible contains prophecies written centuries before the events they describe, yet those same events are later recorded as fulfilled in the New Testament.
For example, Isaiah 53:7 (KJV) foretells, “He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth…” This prophecy is clearly seen fulfilled in Acts 8:32–35 (KJV) when the Ethiopian eunuch reads this very passage from Isaiah, and Philip begins at that scripture to preach unto him Jesus.
This powerful connection between prophecy and fulfillment is not an isolated case. Throughout the Scriptures, we find many Old Testament prophecies that are later fulfilled in the New Testament. Such accuracy strengthens our confidence that the Bible is truly inspired by God and stands as our reliable and authoritative guide.

Give Me the Bible - Lesson 14 - Because It Enables Me to Confront False Ideas About Women Translators - Robin Haley

In this episode, we examine how the Bible enables us to confront false ideas about women translators. When we open God's Word with honest and careful study, false ideas cannot stand against the truth that Scripture provides.
The apostle Paul reminds us in 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV), "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." This call to diligent study is exactly what equips us to address and correct the misconceptions that have surrounded this topic.
When we commit ourselves to what the Bible actually says, we find that God's Word is sufficient to answer every false claim and strengthen our confidence in Scripture as our reliable and authoritative guide.

Give Me the Bible - Lesson 15 - Because It Tells Me How to Worship Acceptably - Jay Yeager

In this episode, we examine how the Bible tells us how to worship acceptably. When we open God's Word with honest and careful study, we find that God has not left the matter of worship to our own preferences or traditions.
The apostle John records in John 4:24 (KJV), "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." This clear command from Jesus Himself establishes that acceptable worship is not defined by man but by God, and that definition is found in His Word.
When we commit ourselves to what the Bible actually says about worship, we find that Scripture is sufficient to guide us — leaving no room for additions or alterations of our own making — and strengthening our confidence in God's Word as our reliable and authoritative guide.
