40 Days in the Word Pre-Campaign: Why We Can Trust the Bible Sermons
Do your church members know the reasons why they trust the Bible?
Because if they can’t trust the Bible, why in the world should they study it, read it, memorize it, meditate on it, and apply it to their lives?
Give your members proof of why we can trust the Bible by introducing them to five leading Bible scholars from all over the world who demonstrate why the Bible is trustworthy in these Apologetics messages—40 Days in the Word Pre-Campaign: Why We Can Trust the Bible Sermons.
These messages will bring clarity to your members’ toughest questions about their faith and give them solid evidence of the authority and reliability of the Bible.
You can use these messages to kick off the 40 Days in the Word spiritual growth campaign at your church, as Pastor Rick Warren did for his congregation, or you can quote key evidence from each Bible scholar to enhance your campaign weekend messages.
This sermon series was taught during Saddleback's Annual Ahmanson Lectures in 2011.

- Why Historians Take the Gospel Seriously (John Dickson)
- The Reliability of the New Testament (Sean McDowell)
- Top Ten Reasons We Know the New Testament Is True (Frank Turek)
- Following Jesus On the Reliability of Scripture (Paige Patterson)
- A Biblical View of Truth (Doug Groothius)
