The Bible Is Not About You

From Tim Keller:

The Gospel Project




We have decided to use LifeWay's Gospel Project curriculum for this fall.  If we like the study, we can continute with it for the next three years.  We are really excited about it because we have a passion for the underlying message of the study.

The goal of the Gospel Project is to show that the Bible - the whole Bible - is the story of Jesus.  It's not about us, and what we are supposed to do.  It's about Jesus, and what he has done.  The summary on the Gospel Project website says that the one story that infuses Scripture from cover to cover is God's redemptive plan to rescue us from sin and death.
"Because the whole Bible points to Jesus, it is important to examine the theology and mission within the text, as all of it is an important part of understanding the awesome depth and power of the gospel."
As we lead up to the start of our class, I will be posting some articles, videos, etc., that I hope will lay a foundation for the study.
