Discover God’s amazing story
People know lots of Bible stories but often they don't know how the individual stories relate to the big 'plot' of the Bible, nor can they see how the stories they know relate to each other. The Big Story – Refresh Your Vision Bible-reading programme puts the stories you know in context for you, connecting up the well-loved Bible stories and showing how they add up to the one big story of what God is doing.
See God's plan unfold
This one-year reading plan provides an overview of the Bible's epic story presented as a series of covenantal promises fulfilled by Jesus and the new covenant.
365 daily readings will enable you to see God's covenantel plan for His creation unfold. Your vision will be enlarged and you will be enabled to link your life more fully to God's big adventure.
Interact with God
Each day's Bible passages are printed in their entirety, and suggested prayers, praise points, probing questions, thoughts and challenges will help you to interact with God through His Word.
Support and encourage one another
When you and your church embark on a reading plan together, the chances of staying on track and completing the year's reading increase as you support and encourage one another.
Many churches who have completed one of our reading programmes say they have a satisfying sense of achievement and are closer to each other and closer to God as a result.
Your church's own online forum
If your church participates in Refresh Your Vision we will give you your own online forum where your church members can share their views and thoughts on the Bible readings throughout the year.
3 EASY STEPS TO GET STARTED:
Step 1: Register your church
Appoint a co-ordinator for the programme and complete the online form by clicking the 'register' button below. We will then send your co-ordinator a pack of invitation cards and posters for your church members, inviting them to be part of this church-wide Bible-reading programme.
Step 2: Order your copies of The Big Story
An order form for The Big Story will accompany the invitations, cards and posters. This hardback book is normally priced at £19.99, but you will benefit from a bulk discount. Your co-ordinator should however place an order for The Big Story before Friday 2 December 2011.
Step 3: The Big Story delivered
In early December, we will send your co-ordinator copies of The Big Story along with your bookmarks. The name of each person taking the challenge can be written on the bookmarks, along with the username and password for logging on to your church's own mini-forum.
