The Story of the Bible: Public Lecture

Are you curious about how to read the Bible? Have you ever wondered how it all fits together?

On Saturday, Sept 10, at 7:30 pm, Michael Goheen will be giving a talk at Hope Community Church on the how to read the bible as a unified story. Whether you’re new to the Christian faith or a seasoned believer, this talk will enable you to see the rich overarching story of the Bible and find your place in it.

Michael Goheen is the Director of Theological Education at the Missional Center in Phoenix, AZ and Co-author of the best-seller "Drama of Scripture"

The evening will include a time for Q & A. Everyone is welcome to attend. Refreshments will be provided.

 

This is an orientation that will introduce you to Surge - an intensive, unique way of understanding the Gospel with Jesus ant the centre of the Story.

As we examine the Gospel (or the good news of Jesus) and appropriate it to our lives, it is important that we have a robust understanding not only of the message of the Gospel, but also of the power of the Gospel in our lives. Surge is a training tool designed to give you biblical lenses to see your life in the context of the greater work that God is doing in creation and also the specific work that God is doing in you to be a blessing to your world and show His love to those he brings along your path.

The intensives will include four main stages of understanding and applying the Gospel in four quarters:

Quarter 1: Gospel Story (Sept 2016)

The first will focus on the Gospel story and finding your place in the drama of the biblical narrative. This is a macro view of God’s big story.

Quarter 2: Gospel and Heart  (Nov 2016)

Second, we will focus in on the application of the Gospel to our hearts and lives as the Holy Spirit continues to shape our thinking, attitude and actions through His Word.

Quarter 3: Gospel Mission (Jan 2017)

Third, we will seek to develop a view of the larger purpose of God’s People in the mission that God has given to us for as long as we have breath in our lungs.

Quarter 4: Gospel Calling  (Apr 2017)

Lastly, we will examine the Kingdom value of our vocation. This last section will help us to develop an understanding of our calling as Christ-centered people working in various locations and vocations.
