Knoxville 1st Christian Church Participating in The Story, Beginning January 8, 2012 “The Bible is central to our faith,” said Pastor Dave Shreeves of 1st Christian, “but many people are intimidated by its scope and size. The Story gives us a way to journey from Genesis to Revelation together in 31 weeks so everyone understands God’s story and how their story intersects with it.” Pastor Dave Shreeves believes that The Story is the right tool to increase Biblical literacy, helping readers understand God’s story from Genesis to Revelation and how their own stories intersect with God’s. Consisting of carefully-selected scriptures sequenced in chronological order, The Story presents the word of God in an engaging format, reading like a novel. The Story provides up to 31 weeks of curriculum for all-ages Sunday school and up to 31 weeks of corresponding sermons. First Christian began the experience on January 8, 2012.
“I want the people in our congregation, as well as the city of Knoxville, to realize the incredible love God has for them and how their story is found in His story,” said Pastor Shreeves.
