Today we start our journey through the Bible. Journeying through it as one seamless story.
Our story starts now...
Everybody knows, a great story captivates its audience right from the beginning.
Can the Bible?
The Biblical story begins with the words, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
Whomp-Whomp. **Snoring Sounds**
Whether you've read the Bible or not, most people know this is how it begins. No surprise intro here, which means, we tend to overlook what's actually happening! We read these words with zero excitement or imagination.
We fail to realize that The Bible begins unlike any other story!
Before you read any book, you have a general idea of what the story's about. You have a context for what's inside. Bookstores are broken up into genres, so you know how to find a western, sci-fi, romance, mystery...whatever. Before you read the opening lines of most books, you have a framework for what you are getting into--but not the Bible.
