My Church has decided to go through The Story and asked me to write Devotionals to go with it as we enter this study of the Bible. So here is an introduction as to what you will be seeing for the rest of The Story!
What Is The Story? (Taken from http://www.thestory.com/what-is-the-story/)
The Story is an abridged, chronological Bible that reads like a novel. There are no verse references, and Scripture segments are seamlessly woven together with transition text into a single grand narrative. For those intimidated or overwhelmed by the unabridged Bible, The Story helps people understand God’s Word more fully and engage with it more easily.
Simple, accessible, and easy to use, churches are finding The Story a powerful way to engage their people in Bible reading like never before. As The Story brings the Bible to life, the broad scope of God’s message will penetrate hearts. People of all ages will be swept up in the story of God’s love and God’s plan for their lives.
I have heard it said that The Story is God’s Story of His love for His people from Creation to Redemption and beyond. I am excited to walk through His story together with you. I write because I want the world to know the height, width and depth of the love God has for His children as revealed in the Bible and through The Story. Too many of us feel unworthy and unloved. That was NOT God’s plan. You are the apple of His eye. You are His masterpiece. You are fearfully and wonderfully made and He loves you. Walk with us as we learn that we are worthy because He says so! His plan for you is as good as He is good! Let’s take a walk, shall we?
