Everybody has a story but only one story redeems our story. Discover God's great Salvation History Story, the truest of true stories. This series of messages takes the whole counsel of God seriously, so that we may stay in the story of Jesus Christ and His grace.

The dividing line in history is not between eras, ancient and modern, but between epics, redemptive and heroic. Our choice is between God's Salvation History and our personal quest for significance. We can either concentrate on the calculus of our inner needs and wants or be brought into the life that God saves and sanctifies by his grace and mercy. We can either stay in the story or live for ourselves.
