These studies guide you through the storyline of Scripture-each
following a person, place, or thing in the Bible. Maybe you are
practiced in dissecting a passage and pulling things out of the text to
apply to your life. But now you may feel as though your faith is
fragmented. The Storyline Bible studies help you put the pieces back
together. You'll discover cohesive, thematic storylines with literary
elements and appreciate the Bible as the masterpiece that it is.
Each study is five weeks long and can be paired with its thematic
partner for a seamless ten-week study to fit in a church semester. Every
study features:
-
Gospel presentation at the beginning of each Bible study
-
Full Scripture passages included in the study so that you can mark up
the text and keep your notes in one place
-
Insights from female scholars and scholars of color
-
Free resources for preaching and leading small groups
Valleys in the Bible have far more meaning than just as geographical
markers or pins on an ancient map. In his literary genius, God
repurposes valley settings throughout Scripture to signal tests of
faith--and deepening of confidence in the One who is with us in the
valley. In Valleys, we're going to explore:
- Numbers 13-14: the Valley of Eshkol, where spies scouted the Promised
Land
- Judges 4-5: the Valley of Kishon, where Deborah and Jael defeated the
enemy
- 1 Samuel 17: the Valley of Elah, where David fought Goliath
- Psalm 23: the Valley of Death, where God comforts scared people
- Ezekiel 37: the Valley of Dry Bones, where Ezekiel prophesied of
Israel's restoration
