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 6: New Creation, 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 excites you about the end of the story?

2) How does understanding genre matter for understanding the end of the story?

3) How does hope for the future work back for perseverance in the present? Share some examples of how that has occurred in your life.

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