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 2

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 part of the end of the story is most compelling for your life of faith right now?

2) How does God coming down and restoring this earth impact your understanding of the story and our life lived in it?

3) How does the believing in the "resurrection of the body" (Apostle's Creed) change your theology and life?

4) What are the four elements of the story of Revelation and apocalyptic literature from the Bible that we can anchor our understanding in? How does this give you hope for this present moment?

5) How does knowing the Story of Scripture impact your life of faith and your place in the story?
