Understand God's Larger Story

What Would You Say...

If someone asked you to explain how all the pieces of the Bible fit together?

If someone asked you what it means that the Bible is the inspired Word of God?

If someone asked you how certain books made it into the cannon of scripture? 

Dr. Brian Russell, professor and dean at Asbury Theological Seminary, shares with Discovery Church how to address these difficult questions. 

To Complete This Step:

Set aside time to watch and take notes on his teaching on these topics and more. After watching the video try your hand at answering the questions below. If you have trouble answering any questions feel free to rewatch portions of the video on those topics. When you have a good grasp on the topics try explaining what you learned to your BGP (Big Godly Person).

  1. Explain in 5 minutes or less how all the major pieces of the Bible fit together.
  2. How can we say that the Bible is the inspired Word of God if it was written by such a wide variety of people over such a long time?
  3. Explain in your own words how we can have confidence in the cannon of Scripture.
