Journey Through the Story of Salvation 

With Deacon Stone

​

Discover God’s Plan from Genesis to the Birth of the Church

​

Beginning Monday, May 4 • 7:00 PM • Parish Hall

​

Have you ever wondered how the whole Bible fits together?

Why the stories of Adam, Abraham, Moses, and David matter to your life today?  How everything in Scripture ultimately points to Jesus Christ and His Church?

Join us for an engaging journey through the story of God’s plan for humanity—from the creation of the world to the establishment of the New Covenant Church.

This course will explore:

• How the events of the Bible unfold through real history

• The people and covenants that prepared the world for Christ

• How the Old Testament points forward to the New

• What the story of salvation means for us today

Each session combines Scripture, history, and discussion to help you see the Bible as one unified story of God’s love and redemption.

Whether you know the Bible well or are just beginning, this study will help you see Scripture in a whole new way.

 

All are welcome. Bring a Bible and come ready to discover the story God has been telling since the beginning.
