THE STORY OF THE BIBLE SHAPES THE STORY OF OUR LIVES

This study is intended not just for your personal growth in the grace of Jesus, but for you to help someone else grow in that same grace. This is discipleship. And every one of us is called to be a disciple-making disciple of Jesus.

God desires to use you to share the story of grace to shape someone’s life, and we are praying for you as you come along someone and help them understand what they are reading in the Bible.

INTRODUCTION

Why call it the Story of Grace?

Because from beginning to end, from creation to new creation, every act, every promise, every rescue is marked by God’s unrelenting kindness toward undeserving people. Grace is not a subplot in the Bible; it is the plot. And the best part of all? This story isn’t finished. It’s still being told today.

God is still using this story of grace to shape and mold the story of our own lives.
