The Story

Our Journey to the Heart of God's Story


August-November, 2013
January-May, 2014

"THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD" is more than just a cliche. God goes to great lengths to rescue lost and hurting people. That is what The Story is all about: the story of the Bible, God's great love affair with humanity. Read the Bible as one seamless story—from beginning to end.

Condensed into 31 accessible chapters allows the stories, poems, and teachings of the Bible to read like a novel. And like any good story, The Story is filled with intrigue, drama, conflict, romance, and redemption; and this story's true!

This is a journey for the youngest in the church to the oldest… and told like you have never heard it told before. Join the discussion group at 9:50 AM in the McMillen Room to go deeper into the sermon. We recommend that you go even further in this Journey and join a small group—here are some opportunities:
