The Story of Scripture
The Story of Scripture
The Story of Scripture is designed to guide you through the entire Bible by providing a big-picture understanding of its story and structure. We will unpack biblical themes and see how they fit into the timelines of that era. This course will deepen your personal time in God's Word by providing context and clarity as you study individual portions of Scripture within the confines of God's big story.
The Institute’s seminary-like courses will stretch you more than any other environment we offer! Gain confidence in your ability to study and understand the Bible, articulate fundamental beliefs and theology, and share those beliefs with others. Childcare is available.
Registration for January 2024 is now closed. We encourage you to sign up for our other upcoming Institute classes: Theology Essentials or Design, Passion, and Calling.
