Throughout the Bible—from its opening pages to the culmination of Christ's return—two parallel dramas are unfolding. First, there is a lower story, which describes the events from our human perspective. The lower story, our story, is actually the stories of many men and women interacting with God in the daily course of life. But there is also an upper story, which reveals how the events are unfolding from heaven's perspective. The upper story, God's story, is the tale of his overarching purpose that puts all the individual stories together like panels in one unified mural.The goal of The Story Bible Study is to give you "bifocal lenses" so you can see what is happening in both these lower and upper stories. As you read these narratives, you will see how God has been weaving our lower story into the greater upper story that he has been writing.Streaming video access code included.

The Heart of the Story will help you see God’s Word in a new and inspiring light. In the Bible’s seemingly disconnected stories, you’ll discover one grand, unfolding epic – God’s story from Genesis onward – and your own life-story contained within it.“To understand the Bible,” says author and pastor Randy Frazee, “you need bifocal lenses, because two perspectives are involved. The Lower Story, our story, is actually many stories of men and women interacting with God in the daily course of life. The Upper Story is God’s story, the tale of his great, overarching purpose that fits all the individual stories together like panels in one unified mural.”In this new edition, Randy dives deeper in the Upper and Lower stories and shows how both perspectives will open your eyes to the richness and relevance of the Bible.

The development of meaningful relationships, where every member carries a significant sense of belonging, is central to what it means to be the church. So why do many Christians feel disappointed and disillusioned with their efforts to experience authentic community? Despite the best efforts of pastors, small group leaders and faithful lay persons, church is too often a place of loneliness rather than connection. In this revised and updated version of his bestselling book, Randy Frazee shows us how church can be so much…better—more intimate and alive. The answer may seem radical today, but it was a central component of life in the early church. First-century Christians knew what it meant to live in vital community with one another, relating with a depth and commitment that made "the body of Christ" a perfect metaphor for the church. What would it take to reclaim that kind of love, joy, support, and dynamic spiritual growth? Read this book and find out.
