The Story of Reality Study Guide: How the World Began, How it Ends, and Everything Important that Happens in Between

Description

Study the narrative backbone of the Christian story and how all the plotlines of that story are resolved in the end. Biblical Christianity is more than just another private religious view. It's more than just a personal relationship with God or a source of moral teaching. Christianity is a picture of reality. It explains why the world is the way it is. When the pieces of this puzzle are properly assembled, we see the big picture clearly. This six-session, video-based study guide (DVD/streaming video sold separately)-based on the theological observations of his book, The Story of Reality-Gregory Koukl guides you and your group through the narrative arc of reality. Throughout this experience, you'll learn: The vital answer to the question: What is Christianity The five basic elements forming the plotline of the entire Christian story. How the Christian story explains why there's evil in the world. The precise reason why Jesus is the only way of salvation. Why biblical faith is not a leap of wishful thinking.

This video-based study is designed to be experienced in a group setting or any small gathering and includes outlines of the video teachings, reflections, self-assessment exercises, discussion questions, and other activities to help you understand the concepts and put them into practice.
