For the next 8 weeks at Hope we will be in a series called "The Story of God". This series will walk through 20 different stories from the Bible starting in Genesis and ending in the book of Acts. Many of these stories will be familiar and known to regular church attenders. Yet, I think this series has amazing potential.
Last night I read the following quote while reading The Hole in our Gospel by Richard Stearns: "I believe that we have reduced the gospel from a dynamic and beautiful symphony to God's love for and in the world to a bare and strident monotone. We have taken this amazing good news from God, origianally presented in high definition and Dolby sterio, and reduced it to a grainy, black-and-white, silent movie. In doing so, we have also stripped it of much of its power to change not only the human heart but the world."
It is my prayer, that as we go through this series people's hearts will be changed.
