Series: "The Living Word"

February 15, 2025
Jason Broadus

In this concluding episode of “The Living Word” series, Jason provides a comprehensive summary of our journey—from the formation of the biblical canon to the transformative impact of the Protestant Reformation. We explore the progression from oral tradition to written Scripture, preserving God’s Word through Church councils and periods of intense persecution, and establishing the biblical canon. This episode also examines the revolutionary role of the printing press in making Scripture widely accessible, the Reformation’s restoration of biblical authority, and the unwavering trustworthiness of the Bible as the Holy Spirit-inspired, inerrant revelation of God. Finally, Jason equips believers with five key takeaways and three practical applications to strengthen their faith and stand firm in biblical truth.
