Details for January 30th PALCO Gathering

On Thursday, January 30, 2014, PALC Ongoing will gather to explore and wrestle how the stories of the Bible are really telling one big true story—the story of God. We'll engage stuff like...
* What exactly is the BIG true story of God?
* How does God's true story intersect with our story?
* Who is the hero of every Bible story?
* How is the Old Testament about Jesus?
* Why is the Gospel not only biblical facts, but also God's true story?
* How can we communicate this story in a compelling/accurate way?
* What does it look like to walk people in our ministries through God's story?
* And much more...

If you have resources and ideas about telling the story of God, please bring them with you and be ready to share!

The Grand Story of the God as a FREE Movie

We are going to be gathering as PALCO pals for the day on Thursday, January 30, 2014. In addition to the FREE downloadable book that I told you about earlier on this blog, I'd also like to share a FREE movie that attempts to tell the BIG story of God starting at the beginning of the Bible and working through to the New Testament. (Note: This is NOT the Bible movie that was aired on television through the History Channel.)

I've watched the full movie version of this with my family.

I encourage you to do the same—as another way to prep for our day long PALCO gathering on Thursday, January 30, 2014.

Here's the trailer that introduces a FREE online streaming video that tells the one story of the God of the Bible.  Check out the trailer and if you want more I've included a link to the full FREE online video of God's true story below.

(If video of movie trailer doesn't appear, go here.)

* You can view the entire movie FREE online at your own pace by going here. (There's an introduction, twelve chapters, and a conclusion. It takes a little over an hour to watch.)

* Plus, there's a FREE study guide to go with the movie—including Bible study and discussion questions.

Stay tuned for complete details on our day together on Thursday, January 30, 2014.
