EPIC Stories from the Gospels Brian Babcock

60 studies for small groups from the New Testament. You may think you know what you're getting here ... but you'd be wrong. This book uses the episodic architecture of the Gospels to walk beyond the Bible's stories and reveal Jesus using four perspectives: -A government agent-telling the story with order and precision (Matthew) -A friend-posting details shared around the common dinner table (Mark) -A physician/psychiatrist-fascinated by the remarkable (Luke) -A mama's boy and early disciple-offering the "inside story" (John) Typical cell-group Bible studies focus on learning content or memorizing a text. That may work for individuals, but not for groups. These studies tap into how we best grow and learn: -Working out of EPIC stories we naturally remember-Exploring social values through relationships-Using study questions connected to our learning preferences-Connecting three stories-God's story, another's story and our story. So, get ready for sessions that are really not Bible studies; they are tricks and mirrors that catch you in the act of being real. Featuring the best of the original Serendipity Bible questions, updated for today's groups.
