The Story
Posted by Jason Oesterling on August 28, 2008
The Story is our current 12-week series, designed to give an objective overview of the story of the Bible (more info here). It’s on a level that anyone can understand, regardless of whether or not they have a background in church-related things. We use lots of visual aids and multimedia to communicate the story.
We’ve gone for 2 weeks now, meeting at a local daycare center. We’re looking forward to continuing to communicate this story, as we believe the story itself is powerful. This is a great exercise for our core team, as well, as we gain a better grasp of the basic storyline of the Bible.
The approach we’re using borrows most heavily from By This Name, a book published by GoodSeed International. It is along the lines of the biblical theology approach taught by Graeme Goldsworthy and others. It’s been extremely helpful to me to study biblical theology, understanding the stories of the Bible as they contribute to the story of the Bible.
