Most adults know Bible stories.
Few understand the story of the Bible.
You know the stories and you’ve studied the passages. You’ve sat in countless Bible studies. But if you’re honest, the Bible can still feel disconnected. Genesis feels far from the Gospels. The prophets are hard to place. The epistles can feel scattered.
You’re not alone. Most adults have never been shown how the whole story fits together.
There’s a better way to read, teach, and understand Scripture.
Know The Story is a three-year Bible study journey designed to help adults see the Bible as one unified story. Each year builds on the last, guiding your group through the major movements of Scripture in a way that makes God’s big-picture story of redemption come alive.
