Summary

The reliability and sufficiency of Scripture affirm that the Bible is trustworthy and entirely adequate for guiding faith and practice. Its reliability stems from its divine inspiration, historical accuracy, fulfilled prophecies, and preservation over centuries. The sufficiency of Scripture means it contains all we need for salvation, spiritual growth, and godly living, as outlined in 2 Timothy 3:16-17. It provides a complete framework for understanding God, humanity, and redemption without requiring supplementary revelations or texts. While tradition, reason, and experience can complement, they must align with and submit to Scripture's authority. Trusting in the reliability and sufficiency of God’s Word equips believers to navigate life with confidence, grounded in His truth.

0:00.0	Can you trust your Bible? How was the Bible put together? Are the words in your Bible today the same as the words penned by the apostles and prophets?
0:09.4	I'll be discussing all that and more coming up right now.
0:19.3	Welcome to Real Christianity. My name is Dale Partridge. This is part three of our 12-part series titled Welcome to Reform Theology, where I'm taking our congregation at Kingsway Reform Church in Prescott, Arizona, through the fundamentals of reform doctrine. In this session, I introduced the final portion of our discussion around Sola Scriptura,
0:38.2	focusing on the reliability and sufficiency of scripture.
0:42.3	But before we get started, I wanted to briefly mention the Relearn app.
0:47.1	Hey, everyone, Pastor Dale Partridge here.
0:49.7	For years, our family has been listening to audiobooks.
0:53.3	Whether we're in the car, on vacation,
0:55.5	or when our children are getting ready for bed, we have great stories playing in the background.
1:00.8	In a media-dominated world, we are constantly looking for ways to eliminate the TV
1:05.4	and stimulate our minds toward Christ or epic stories or incredible biographies. For that reason, our ministry
1:12.5	launched the Relearn app for Christian families. It's the ultimate library of Christian
1:17.8	audiobooks and e-books that will fuel your family's theology, from deep theological classics to
1:23.9	dramatized audiobooks complete with sound effects for children.
1:33.3	We have an incredible collection of high-quality books with new releases every day.
1:38.4	Get family profiles, offline streaming, and sync your progress across all your devices.
1:43.8	Start your family's free trial at relearn.org. Again, that's relearn.org. Okay, so we are on session three of 12, and I am really trying with great sincerity to get our church, our members, really to a place of deep
2:09.1	theological maturity. Now, we have lots of theological illiteracy in the church. We know it's a problem. As I said in my prayer,
2:21.2	bad theology hurts people. I think many of us have learned the effects of bad theology on
2:28.0	our own personal walk with the Lord. And the foundation of good theology starts with a good foundation of
2:36.8	understanding the Bible. And so we are on session three, but our second session on Solis
2:43.8	criptura. And next week we are going to be moving on from this topic. But last week, we, well, let me, let me give this a title.
