This Story We’re In

This week we begin a new series that will carry us through to Advent. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be telling the story of the Hebrew Bible—the Old Testament. We’re doing this for a few reasons. First, many of us as Christians aren’t sure what to do with the Old Testament or why it matters. Second, we want to paint a picture of the world that made a Messiah necessary—or, put another way, the world into which Jesus was born. And finally, we want to rescue the Old Testament from being seen as a one-dimensional historical record and instead breathe life into it as a story—not just a story that was told, but a story we find ourselves in. This week, we begin with Creation.
