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.

The Unfolding Plan of God | Les Newsom

Scripture Reference: Acts 27:39-44; 28:23-31

Sermon Points:

God’s Plan in the Chaos
God’s Plan in the Suffering
God’s Plan in the Moment
