Sermon in a sentence:  In the Bible, God makes clear statements about reality and the future; by testing these statements, we find overwhelming proof of divine origin for the Bible.

#1  It is completely reasonable to expect God to communicate to humanity
       verbally.

#2  The Bible is authenticated by predictive prophecy.

Messianic, Second Coming, cities and nations
Psalm 22; Isaiah 53; Zechariah 9:9, 11:12-13, 12:10

#3  The Bible makes scientific and medical statements that demonstrate its
       divine origin.

• The shape of the earth

• The suspension of the earth

• The stars and the sands are innumerable

• The second law of thermodynamics

• The practice of quarantine, sanitation, stopping infectious disease

#4  Jesus viewed Scripture as the authoritative Word of God.
