The Big Picture of Scripture: A 30,000-foot View
Wednesday August 19, 2026 10:00am - 10:45am EDT
Many of us learned to sing “Jesus Loves Me” long before we really knew who Jesus is. That can be good, but it can also cause problems. We often study the Bible backward. We start with the New Testament and only later, if ever, get around to the Old Testament. That is not how the Bible was written, and it is not how God’s people first studied it. They knew the Old Testament well, which helped them understand the New Testament! Join us for a one-sermon summary of the Bible as we walk through the Old Testament, tracing concepts like “church,” “gospel,” and “Jesus” long before the manger or the cross. By the end of the study, you will be able to open your Bible and know the story that ties it all together.
