The name “TravelBlog” is a play on the name of our church family: Sojourn Community Church.

A sojourn is a trek, a quest. A journey from bondage to freedom, from darkness to light, made possible by the grace of God through His Son, Jesus Christ. Like the ancient children of Israel, like the writers of the Gospels, Acts and the epistles, we tell the story of God's work in our lives while we travel.

The Bible As Narrative: How To See The Bible As One Unified Story

Do you think of the Bible as a collection of sayings, laws or teachings more so than one unified story? Do you want more clarity in how to read and see the Bible as God’s grand story, and how to see yourself in that story?

Sojourn is launching five-week discipleship course which takes participants through the story line of Scripture. We’ll meet these Sundays, at the Midtown Campus:

  • Oct. 16
  • Oct. 23
  • Oct. 30
  • Nov. 6
  • Nov. 13

You can attend on each of those dates at either 11:15 a.m. — 12:15 p.m. or from 5 – 6 p.m.

I spoke with class leader Todd Burrus about the format and direction of this class, if it would be a good fit even for unbelievers or those with little knowledge of the Bible and theological terms, and about the need to see the Bible as a narrative rather than a text book. Listen to our short interview through one of the options below:

    Great idea, but I can’t make it on Sunday’s. I’ve noticed Daniel using a biblical theology model in some of his sermons, and found them to be quite interesting.

    Hello! This looks like a great resource! Are you looking to publish this in the future? I think our small group would enjoy this study. If you are able, I would enjoy a copy! Thanks!
