Calling all people of Peace …..and friends! You are invited to gather together to get a "big picture" overview of God’s Story in the Old and New Testaments. Here is a description of the Bible Overview from the introduction to the workbook:
Have you ever tried putting together a jigsaw puzzle
without a picture of what it is meant to look like when it
is all assembled? It is almost impossible to fit the pieces together properly unless you know what you are aiming for.
This short course is designed to give you an understanding of the Bible as a whole. Like the jigsaw, it is much harder to understand any one part of the Bible if you don’t have some grasp of the whole book. Once you have this overview of the book, some of the smaller parts don’t seem so confusing or difficult to understand.
This is a course for everyone, from children to grandparents, from students of the Bible to those who are reading it for the first time. It is designed to work like a guided tour. We provide a map, explain the route, and point out landmarks and signposts along the way. It is our hope that this will mean that you can come back to the Bible on your own, confident that you know the terrain. May God reward you on your travels.
Inside the pages of the workbook you will find the 15 stages of the unfolding story of the Bible as they will be explained during The Bible Overview presentations. To explain each stage, we have included:
• a verse or two from the Bible which introduces or summarizes the stage
• a picture and summary word to make it easy to remember the details of each stage
• a short explanation of what the stage is about, so that you can remind yourself of it after the course is finished
• a few extra Bible verses for use in the Old Testament and New Testament presentations
The confirmation class will be there and we are hoping that parents and other adults will also attend. This Bible overview is simple to understand and accurately shows how all the Scriptures are about how God appointed Jesus Christ the saving ruler of God’s kingdom (Luke 24:13-53)
