What Is the Story of the Bible? – West Bridgewater Community Church

The Bible is the best-selling book of all time. It’s the most influential book ever written. The Bible has influenced philosophies, legal systems, governments, art, literature, music, and movies. Whether we realize it or not, a number of things we value, such as human rights, are based on the Bible’s teachings. It has helped form and shape the lives of many people throughout the ages. It’s a book that every educated person should be familiar with.

But the Bible is a long book. It’s complicated. It was written in different languages, in different times, and in different places. It’s hard to make sense of it all.

In order to help you understand the story of the Bible, Pastor Brian preached a series of sermons called “What Is the Story of the Bible?” The series began on September 27, 2015 and ended on February 7, 2016. Each week, we looked at an important part of the story of the Bible. The goal is to show how the Bible tells one story, and how this story affects all of us. The big story of the Bible makes sense of the little stories of our lives.
