What comes to your mind when you think about the things that are most important to God?

The gospel is the environment out of which all God-pleasing values and priorities grow.   The entire Bible is the story of the gospel.

 
The Great Story comes in 4 Acts:
Act 1: Creation Genesis 1-2

Act 2: Fall Genesis 3 – Malachi
You can’t fix the problem of the human condition by fixing the environment.
Act 3: Redemption Matthew – Jude

Act 4: Restoration Revelation

Commit to read through the Bible in 2020, watching for how the 4 Acts of the Story play out.
Watch for other places I see The Story’s echo (in movies, in life).
