This course is designed to look at the full sweep of God’s magnificent story as revealed in Scripture – from the opening words of Genesis to its final culmination in Revelation. Our emphasis will be on how the Bible, in its entirety, tells a single, unified, and seamless story of God’s love and redemption…and how it all ties together!
Our aim is also to be as relaxed, informal, fun, and unintimidating as possible. Questions, doubts, disagreements, and honest discussion are not just welcomed, but encouraged. For those relatively new to the Bible, I don’t know of a better way to be introduced to Scripture than by gaining an understanding of the overarching storyline. Conversely, for those who might be very familiar with the Bible and have been in lots of studies, if my own experience is any guide, every time I’ve approached Scripture from this vantage point it has always added a depth and richness to my understanding and, being at a different point in my life, has resonated in new and refreshing ways. Above all, the experience has always strengthened my faith and trust!
Having previously facilitated this class, one of the best things I ever did was to encourage people to come to class even if they weren’t always prepared or had missed several times. I will never call on you or in any way put you “on the spot”. People are busy and life intrudes, and I don’t want anything to discourage someone from coming if they still want to be there and feel it’s worth their while! There is much to be gained simply by being in class!
And, of course, signing up is not a binding, irrevocable decision. Give the class a few weeks and, if it’s not “scratching your itch”, you are free to quit and find something else that might be a better fit! I’ll even help you do that if you’d like.
So, if any of this sounds even remotely intriguing, you can register HERE.
