The Story

The Bible as One Continuing Story of God and His People


A 20-Lesson Journey Through the Bible

Based on The Story by Max Lucado and Randy Frazee


Introduction

What if the Bible wasn’t just a collection of ancient stories—but one seamless narrative with a beginning, a middle, and an end? What if your life, right now, is part of that story?

The Story is a sweeping 20-lesson teaching series that traces the grand arc of Scripture—from Genesis to Revelation—highlighting the key people, pivotal moments, and eternal truths of God’s unfolding plan. Adapted from the chronological narrative Bible experience created by Lucado and Frazee, this series is not a commentary—it’s a call to rediscover your place in God’s redemptive drama.


What You’ll Learn

  • How the major movements of the Bible form a unified story
  • Where each biblical figure fits in God’s plan—and in ours
  • How God’s Upper Story intersects with our Lower Story lives
  • Why Scripture’s meta-narrative still shapes our hope and purpose today

Whether you’re new to the Bible or seeking to deepen your understanding of its story-shaped theology, this series will equip you to see the Bible not as a fragmented set of tales, but as your invitation into God’s mission.
