The Story: The Bible As One Continuing Story of God and His People. “The Greatest Story Ever Told” is more than just a cliché. God goes to great lengths to rescue lost and hurting people. That is what The Story is all about—the story of the Bible, God’s great love affair with humanity.
The Story will sweep learners into the unfolding progression of Bible characters and events from Genesis to Revelation. Using the clear, accessible text of the NIV Bible, the stories, poems, and teachings of the Bible are arranged in chronological order so students can better understand God’s plan for creation and his people and, even better, it reads like a novel. And like any good story, The Story is filled with intrigue, drama, conflict, romance, and redemption—and this story’s true!
Copies of the NIV The Story will be available in class for use or purchase. |

Class of 2013 (Grade 8).
What Do You Believe? This is a class for “putting all the pieces together”. We will begin with a practical historical overview of the Old Testament, emphasizing the unfolding plan of salvation as God reveals it through His covenants with the nation of Israel, and the fulfillment of those covenants in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. We will also explore the five main topical elements of the Christian story: God, Man, Jesus, The Cross and Resurrection.
Each youth participant will be joined in their journey of faith by their parents and an adult Mentor from the congregation. Periodically, Mentors and parents will join the class for discussion, service and faith sharing. At the end of the Confirmation year, participants will be asked to write a statement of faith in preparation for joining the Lewinsville Church community. |
