The following is an excerpt wri�en by another minister who was about to begin the

same 31-week series that we start in July. As I speak with many ministers throughout our

brotherhood, I hear many have already completed this series and have said remarkable

things about it. I hope that you will decide to join in with your church family in exploring

God’s Story together.

Next week is our launch Sunday. On Sunday, July 3rd we will begin handing out the

books that the church has already purchased in our Sunday school classes first. If you prefer

the Kindle version those are available for purchase on your own device. Postcard invites will

be made available as well for you to give out to your friends to encourage them to visit with

us during this ,me. Please enjoy the following ar,cle.

Wri,ng your Life chapter Into the story of Life….

If you think Genesis is just a band from the ‘80’s . . .

If you think it was Dr. Doli�le who took two of each animal into a big boat . . .

If you think an epistle is a woman married to an apostle . . .

. . . you may need to know more of The Story.

Some of you may be a bit in,midated by the Bible. You’re not alone; many people

are. And no wonder, its pages men,on odd names like Jehoshaphat and Nebuchadnezzar. It

contains accounts from places you probably never heard of, like Sinai and Samaria. And it

seems to be made up of a lot of different, seemingly unrelated stories. But it really is one

big, exci,ng story.

You can see it easily if you open your Bible to the beginning and then flip all the way

to the end.

The first words found in Genesis 1:1 read: “In the beginning, God created the heav-

ens and the earth.” Then, if you turn all the way to the back of the book, Revela,on 21:1,

you find, “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth

had passed away . . .”

In the beginning God is crea,ng the heavens and the earth. At the end he is crea,ng

a new heaven and a new earth. So the big ques,on is this:

“What on earth happened between the beginning and the end of the Bible?” If you

can answer that ques,on you will have uncovered the one seamless story of God.

Why not read God’s story with your family this year? Studies indicate if the extent of your

child’s exposure to things of the faith is a only weekly visit to church or Sunday School, the

likelihood is very great that when she graduates and leaves home her rela,onship with the

Lord will turn cold.

However, if you as a parent engage your children in the experience of reading and

discussing the Bible, chances go up astronomically that they will remain strong in their faith

aBer leaving home. You don’t have to be an expert or have all the answers. You just have to

be willing to experience it with them.
