Welcome to our series called “The whole story.” Playing our part in the drama of redemption requires that we know the whole story from Creation (Act 1) to New Creation (Act 7). In Act 1 we unpacked our awesome potential as humans created in His image to bring order into the disorder around us through the power of our words. In Act 2 we considered the 5 ‘faces’ of death brought about by our disobedience. In Act 3 we survey the story of Israel, which occupies the vast majority of our Bibles. So it must be very important to God that we know this part of the story well.
