In the fourth message of the "Challenging Authority" series, Nathan Bryant explores the authenticity and reliability of the Bible in a sermon titled "Fake News? Examining the Evidence, Inside and Out." Reflecting on how Christianity is an evidence-based faith, he delves into both internal and external evidences that support the Bible's validity. Internally, he highlights the coherence and interconnectedness of the 66 books written by 40 authors over 1,500 years, underscoring the fulfillment of biblical prophecies. Externally, he presents archaeological discoveries, such as the Tel Dan Stele and the Mesha Stele, that corroborate biblical accounts. Encouraging open-minded inquiry, Nathan reinforces that the Bible is not only a spiritual document but also a historically verifiable one, urging seekers to continue their exploration with an assurance of finding truth.

From Series: "Challenging Authority: The Bible in a World that Questions Everything"

In this eight-week series we take an honest look at one of the most important—and most questioned—books in history: the Bible. We’ll dive into challenging topics like its authority, reliability, authorship, and how it came to be. Along the way, we’ll confront the growing cultural view that the Bible is just an outdated, ancient text, and explore why it still matters today.
