For All It's Worth: The Old, Old Story

February 24 begins our new series: Reading the Bible for all It's Worth. This series is designed to introduce people to the different types of literature in the Bible and learn how to read/understand each type.

General Ideas for the series:

The set-up each week will be a mini-message that explains the principles of how to read that type of
literature.
Psalm 119 – a different section used each week as a reading (focuse
d on the Bible, 22 sections)
Reading the story each week – use different ways to present it (scripture reading, song, children’s book, VeggieTales)

Igniter Video Vol 3 – “I Believe”

Small Groups – 1-week delay (Each week we'll receive another Bible passage of the same type of literature and uses our new skills to read it for the next week)


Week one will focus on Old Testament Narratives. Tim will do the Set-up (explaining how to read them) and Rachael will do the message.


Ideas for Week 1: The Old, Old Story (February 24)
Rachael will be speaking out of Ju
dges (Possibly the Ehud story)
Reference Hebrews 11
