Is the Bible a compilation of books or is it really one book? Is it a collection of helpful stories or is it really one story from start to finish?And is the Bible an encyclopedia of helpful information, or is it something bigger—much grander than we typically think? We will be taking a survey of the Old and New Testaments, to learn and be reminded of what—and ultimately, who—the Bible is really about.
Scripture Reference: Acts 6:8-15; 7:51-59
The execution of Stephen looks to our modern eyes as ludicrously extreme. What could have caused this rioting mob to go to these extremes? Only when the Gospel exposes your deepest commitments, and threatens them, can we hope to see its freedom.
