A new Sermon Series starts September 6th 2026
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 it brings the Bible to life, people of all ages will be swept up in the story of God’s love and his plan for their lives.

A 31-WEEK
CHURCH-WIDE JOURNEY

The Bible is more than a collection of individual stories. It is one great, unfolding story - the story of God and His people.
The Story brings together carefully selected passages of Scripture in chronological order, allowing us to experience the Bible as one continuous narrative from Genesis to Revelation.
Over 31 weeks, we will journey together through creation, promise, redemption, the life of Jesus, the birth of the Church, and the hope of God’s ultimate restoration.

THE JOURNEY
The Chronological Roadmap
Over 31 chapters, we will journey from Genesis to Revelation, watching the grand narrative unfold in three major movements:
Movement 1: The Covenant — From Creation, through the Patriarchs, to the formation of Israel.
Movement 2: The Kingdom — The rise of David, the prophets, the exile, and the quiet waiting for a Savior.
WHY IT MATTERS
Why Journey Together?
The Bible can feel intimidating when read as isolated verses. The Story bridges those gaps.
By looking at the sweeping arc of Scripture, you will see that God is not distant—He has been actively pursuing a relationship with you from the very beginning.

THE CONCEPT
Two Stories. One Grand Narrative.
The Story helps us understand the Bible by looking at it through two distinct lenses:
The Upper Story
God’s perfect, overarching plan to rescue humanity and restore his creation.
The Lower Story
Our daily human experiences, struggles, and steps of faith as we move through history.
