Have you ever come across a story in the Bible and wondered, what is the point?

• Why did God allow Israel to be enslaved in Egypt for 435 years?  
• What about Genesis 38?
• What about the sacrifices and laws in the Old Testament?
• What was the point and are we still supposed to still follow those laws?
• How does the Church fit into God’s plan? 

The Bible is not merely a compiled set of stories which provide good, moral examples of good behaviors, they belong to an overarching, big picture story (or meta-narrative) big which fits together in a way which reveals God working throughout redemptive history in order to bring about His Kingdom. Every Christian is a part of the continuing work of God in redemptive history and understanding how each individual story of the Bible fits within the grand story adds a level of depth to our interpretation of certain texts which can seem obscure or difficult to understand.

In this study, we analyze the biblical narrative at the 50,000ft level, viewing familiar texts through the lens of a grand, meta-narrative, which shapes our understanding of God’s perfect plan throughout history and in the future.  At the core, this study is a lesson in biblical theology, but it is designed to help you apply these truths to practical living.

Michael is passionate about teaching the Bible and will gladly come to your church, conference or any other event to teach this series.
