Title: Can I Trust the Bible? (1 of 3)
Series: Three Big Questions
Scripture: Mark 16:9-20
Author: Patrick Edwards
Introduction
If you brought a Bible with you this morning, I'd ask that you open it to Mark 16, our passage from last week for Easter. For, you see, while I hope you bring your Bible with you every Sunday and use it every Sunday, today it is especially important for you to do so, because you really need to be looking at the text right now as we dive in. As you do that let me tell you a little bit about this new five-week series we're starting this morning called, Asking for a Friend. [Overview]
This first morning our question is so foundational. I say that because everything else to follow this week will be predicated on what we say today. Each week we'll come back to the Bible and use it to answer your questions and so, it just logically follows then to first figure out: Can I trust the Bible? This was a question that so many of you asked in one form or another, whether it be questions about Bible translations, or the dynamic of the fact that the Bible was written by humans, but we say its divine inspired, or why were some books included and not others. Now obviously, because we've taken all these various questions and grouped it into one message, I won't answer every part of this question or address every nuance. I hope that this message will, therefore, start a conversation that we can continue not just after service but in depth over a cup of coffee soon. So, not just this morning but throughout this series, if our message provokes further questions in you write them down and let's connect.
Now hopefully at this point you've found Mark 16, which is where we were last week. And if you've got that passage open then you'll know why I've called your attention to it. You may have noticed last Sunday that I stopped in verse 8. You may have also noticed or you're noticing now a little statement under verse 8 that says something to the ...
