We often approach Scripture like an encyclopedia—reading isolated verses and disconnected stories—instead of the unified narrative Jesus himself said points to him. This Sunday, we'll step back to see that bigger story, tracing the Bible's recurring patterns and themes from Genesis to Jesus. Along the way, we'll discover that Scripture is meant to be read as communal literature that shapes us into life-giving people, fostering unity and hope as we join God in the renewal of his good world.
