Day 9: More Than A Story

Writer's picture: JoniJoni

BACK TO BASICS

BACK TO SCHOOL

Religion Class

Learn the stories

Read about the characters

From Noah to John

Store them in your brain

Until the test

Back to Basics

Back to School

Relationship Class

Connecting what you know

in your head

to your heart

Not just for a test

Not just a class

But

A Class for Life

Moving beyond

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Genesis 1:1

to

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1

to

The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; Mark 1:1

Because

He is more than Religion Class

Because

He is

More Than A Story

He is

Everything to me He's more than a story More than words on a page of history He's the air that I breathe The water I thirst for And the ground beneath my feet He's everything Everything to me. (Everything to Me, Avalon)

Because

He has to be

MORE THAN A STORY

More than a thought in my head

or

He would never have changed this heart of mine

The moment

I asked Him into my life

so

what was in my head

was no longer just in my head

Is He More Than A Story in your life?

Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you,

which you received and on which you have taken your stand.

By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you.

Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance

MORE THAN A STORY...

that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

MORE THAN A STORY

and that he appeared to Cephas,] and then to the Twelve.

After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time,

most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.

Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.

MORE THAN A STORY

For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle,

because I persecuted the church of God.

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect.

No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

Whether, then, it is I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. I Corinthians 15:1-11

MORE THAN A STORY

Because

HE IS JESUS

Make Him Part of Your Story

So your Story is more than just a Story
