Do you feel the Bible is an isolated grab bag of stories and teachings? Did you know that these stories and teachings fit into a bigger story in the Bible? In this 3-day Bible Plan, we will explore how through the Bible, God communicates the unified story of his plan to redeem and reconcile all people to himself through the life and death of Jesus. And how the Bible is the big story of God making his home among us. This 3-day Bible Plan is part 2 of 4 designed to go along with the Catechism 'The Big Story' small group series.

The Ark of the Covenant of the Lord was built at the foot of Mount Sinai.
