“Storyline” is what I preach on Wednesday nights to my students. The name stands for the STORYLINE in all of Scripture of how God is bringing glory to His Son. Instead of just doing different “Power Chapters,” I really believed God was calling me to teach my students the ENTIRE Bible and point it ALL to Christ in the 6 years they were a part of our student ministry. So I learned there are 1,189 chapters in all the Bible (from what they say). I divided 1200 by 5 (to give many weeks off for off days, a holiday observance, etc) and came up with about 5 chapters per week to teach the students the whole biblical storyline in 6 years.
So we started with Genesis and we’re making our way to Revelation. Each sermon averages about 5 chapeters. Some sermons may be 1 chapter and some sermons may be 15 chapters. It just depends how the chapters flow together. But each sermon does stand alone as its own call to follow Christ. Also each sermon stands in a mini-series as it fits into the context of its book. Lastly, each sermon falls into the big picture of the Bible as it is one small episode in the storyline of God exalting His Son as the Lord of the Cosmos.
