bible

Fasten your seatbelts - Route 66 will take you on a two-year journey through the entire Bible from the dawn of time to the final revelation of God's glory! By the end of the book, you will have an appreciation for the broad arc of Scripture along with an introductory understanding of each book in context. Throughout the course, you will also see how God uses imperfect men and women to reflect His majesty to the world. The course is both factual and personal. Our objectives are that you would be able to understand the primary themes of Scripture, identify and locate key biblical events and figures, note doctrines and passages for further study in context, apply basic godly principles to thought, speech, and action, and respond personally to the gospel of grace in Jesus Christ. Our prayer for you is that you would know God, trust in His love, and be unified together in Him (John 17:20-26).
