Join Pastor Colin as he takes you on a guided tour through the entire Bible story.
If God is in control of everything, can Christians sit back and not bother to evangelize? Or does active evangelism imply that God is not really sovereign at all? Both of these attitudes are false. In a careful review of the biblical evidence, Packer shows how a right understanding of God’s sovereignty is not so much a barrier to evangelism as an incentive and powerful support for it.
Helping You Open the Bible and Understand the Story
Open the Bible Story is a guided journey through the Bible. We begin with a three-session overview called “The Flight”, followed by a choice of two paths that will take you deeper in your understanding of the Bible, to help you see that it is one story that begins in a garden, ends in a city, and all the way through points to Jesus Christ.
