Discovering God’s Grand Story
The lectures in this class provide a broad overview of the major events, people and places that tell the main story of the Bible: God’s Grand Story. What is this story? Put simply, the Bible tells the story of God fixing what sin has broken and winning humanity back.
As stated in the first lecture, the best way to retain the biblical story is through consistent, daily Bible reading. We encourage you to approach your daily Bible reading by utilizing the simple three-step method of Receive, Reflect, and Respond.
- Receive simply involves reading the text and asking, “What does the text say?”
- Reflect challenges you to ask, “What does the text mean?”
- Respond invites you to apply the meaning of the text to your life. By reading the Bible at least four times per week, you will grow in your understanding of God’s Word and become better equipped to apply its message to daily living.
For each of the lessons, please take time to read the passages provided in these projects. After you’ve read the passages, use Receive, Reflect, Respond prompts to engage more deeply with the text. Write your answers in the space provided.
These projects are free to download and save to your computer or mobile device. You can then use them to record your thoughts.
