Today, Pastor Jamie Rasmussen began a new series entitled "What Keeps Me Believing" which is likely to carry us into the next ten weeks.
The series has six subtitles starting off with "The Bible is not a Myth". Here Pastor Jamie explains that the Bible, contrary to a growing popular belief, is a historically reliable document.
Jamie unfolds his firm belief with manuscript origin evidence, internal evidence, and external evidences.
Watch as Jamie explains:
Pastor Jamie Rasmussen begins our new season with a remix of important understandings that place an important foundation under our ability to know what we know about God is true.
Modernity's thinkers all agree that there exists primarily four ways to know a thing:
However, these natural epistemology's are severely lacking when considering the metaphysical realm.
As Jamie shared, for centuries, revelation stood alongside these natural epistemology's as a way to understand the world around us. However, modern thinking has tossed revelation out with the bath water.
Nonetheless, God has revealed himself to us primarily through revelation.
In this particular recording, Jamie used a fair amount of audience participation in the reading of 13 verses to put together the foundation for this lesson.
This audience participation did not translate well on our recording, so I am going to record these important foundational verses for you here.
God has revealed Himself to us primarily in and through His Word:
The Holy Spirit brought remembrance to the New Testament writers: (John 14:26, John 16:13-14).
The Holy Spirit brought instruction to the New Testament writers: (1 Cor 2:13, 2 Peter 3:15-16).
The Bible attests to itself: (Hebrews 4:12, 2 Timothy 3:16-17).
The Word is truth, and the canon is closed: (John 17:17, Revelation 22:18-19).
Listen as Jamie explains:

Dave Cavan, President of Cavan Real Estate Investments, and co-founder of Marketplace Bible Study, shares the very personal and painful story of faith during significant financial loss.
Dave shared with gut-wrenching courage how the past two years of his business life has been extremely difficult with significant commercial real estate tenants leaving his Scottsdale office park ultimately resulting in bankruptcy, foreclosure, and loss.
With fresh and open wounds from this recent loss, Dave shared with the men of Marketplace Bible Study the difficulty of finding God in troubled times and all of the inevitable "why" questions that arise during times of great difficultly.
Nearly 100 men listened with rapt attention as Dave shared with remarkable openness, transparency, and humility, how his faith in Jesus Christ has given him the strength to carry on.
Listen as Dave Cavan shares the testimony of his life and faith during these troubled financial times, followed by Pastor Jamie Rasmussen sharing the direction of our studies over the coming months:
