Whether you have been reading the Bible for decades or have never read it before, this course will help you grow in your understanding of the most amazing story ever told.
Linking intellect and emotion, visual displays and the power of the spoken word, challenge yourself to discover if the Bible has the power to transform your life!
The course is currently run over 8 weeks with 2 sessions per night.
There is flexibility within the course to offer it over a longer or more intensive time frame.
The Course Booklet takes participants through the main 'turning points' in the Bible, looking at the story behind each event and how they all come together to tell the one story of God's mighty work of salvation. Each chapter contains extensive notes, Bible references and relevant charts to enable participants to easily grasp the content.
At each course attendees are encouraged to take extra notes and highlight passages if they find that helpful, and each session concludes with a time for questions.
Whether you are a Pastor, a small group leader, a university mission coordinator or a parent wanting your children to have a better understanding of the Bible, ‘The Bible: The Big Picture’ enables people to master the storyline of the Bible in a way that demonstrates the unity, credibility and wonder of what it has to say to our generation.
The course starts at the beginning and lays out the incredible, engaging and eternally significant story of the Bible in a way that empowers and encourages people to pick up their Bible and read about who God is and what He has done!
Our hope and prayer is that people who attend these courses will find inspiration from God to get excited about the Bible; that its message transforms their lives and the lives of those they live amongst; that ultimately, they meet with Him as they read His Word.
Topics Covered
How do you break down people's assumptions about the Bible being a book of random commandments and religious nonsense and help them see its historical claim about Jesus Christ?
You can do it using words alone but there is always a risk of verbosity and overwhelming people with what should be the most engaging and enticing story that could ever be told.
The visual aid (pictured above) for Biblical Turning Points assist teachers, pastors and individuals to teach the Bible using a visual point of reference for the information they are presenting.
Some schools have permanently put the visual aid on the wall of their Christian Studies classroom. Some churches display them to provoke discussion about the Bible’s story.
Do I need to use the visual aid if I want to run this course at my church?
The visual aid is used to help people grasp hold of the one story that is told through the 66 books of the Bible. It allows the presenter to visually demonstrate in a matter of moments what would take many hours to verbally explain.
While it is not essential to use the visual aid, it is highly recommended, as it is a distinguishing element of the course. It is also highly recommended that each participant get a copy of the small fold-out visual aid for their personal reference.
We have a number of options regarding purchasing the visual aid, which is available in different sizes and materials, and also the potential of hiring one for the duration of your course.
