Discover the storyline of Scripture as you follow people, places, or things in the Bible. Maybe you are practiced in dissecting a passage and pulling things out of the text to apply to your life. But now you may feel as though your faith is fragmented. The Storyline Bible Studies help you put the pieces back together. You’ll discover cohesive, thematic storylines with literary elements and appreciate the Bible as the literary masterpiece that it is.

In Saints, we will look at characters and themes that are cautionary tales for Christians and Christian leaders. None of us are above the actions described in the Bible, and all of us are in need of the redemption and restoration of God. In the Saints Bible study, we will explore

• John 3, 7, and 19: Nicodemus, the Pharisee disoriented by Jesus’ testimony;
• John 6, 12, 13, and 18: Judas, the disciple who sold Jesus out;
• John 11 and 18 and Acts 4: Caiaphas, the high priest unwilling to steward his power generously;
• John 18 and 21: Peter, the disciple who denied association with Jesus; and
• Acts 8 and 1 Timothy 1: Paul, the Pharisee who persecuted Christians.
