Inspiration and the Bible's Message

How do you know I'm telling you the truth?

Why do we trust what a doctor or a police officer tells us?

It all has to do with "authority." If I (your pastor) tried to explain to you how a space shuttle operates, you probably wouldn't believe me since I'm not a rocket scientist. I don't have the authority to speak with great detail about how rockets work.

But if I tell you that Jesus loves you, or that God says we need to study his word, then I do have authority to say those things because I am a pastor.

So how do we know that the Bible is true? And what is the message of the Bible? It all has to do with the authority of God. Watch the videos below and then answer the questions to the right.

As you watch the PowToon videos, remember to take notes in your notebook. Some PowToon video will have a summary at the end of it, you should make sure to write down at least what's in the summary.
