Welcome to the Narthex! Join Kevin, Josh, and Chris as we start a special 12-part series called, The Story of Scripture. Each week we will walk through the story of the Bible, looking to understand our place in the "true story of the whole world."

This episode is Act 4: Redemption, Scene 1

In addition to the episode we will include some questions for discussion in these show notes. Some of these questions have been adapted from "Surge School, Quarter 1: Gospel Story" ©2019 Surge Network (www.surgenetwork.com); and from "The True Story of the Whole World" Goheen & Bartholomew, (Brazos Press: Grand Rapids, MI, 2020)

Discussion Questions:

1) What is God's mission?

2) What does the "Kingdom of God" mean? What language can we use to communicate that in today's world?

3) What aspects of Jesus' life do you see as important for us to learn from and to imitate?

4) What do you learn about God in this story? About people? And about God's world?
