There is a story… a good story. The kind of story that, if true, changes everything. The kind of story you hope is true. 

 

And we happen to believe it is.

 

This weekend we begin a series I have been waiting on for the past two years. We’re going to share the true story of what God is doing in the world, and has been doing since the beginning of time. It’s a story that deserves to be told and retold, clarified and translated for every generation.

 

That’s what we’re going to do for the next eight weeks: we’re going to share that one story… eight different ways. And we’re going to share your stories… lots of them. 

 

Welcome to The Story Project.

 

This conversation is for the current generation who wonders if this story is their story – if it can answer the questions they have, the issues they wrestle with. We’ll talk about meaning and loneliness; purpose no one can take from you; authenticity and arrogance; hurt and hate, and the peace that overcomes them; and rest in a hurry-up world.

 

We created this series for your friends… for a curious neighbor, a skeptical coworker, a struggling family member. We want you to invite them: and we promise to make space for them to listen, even if they don’t believe. 

 

Oh, and this series is for you, too. I suspect we’ll all get more out of it than we expect. Together we will unwrap the story of what God is doing in the world, and why it matters more than ever.

 

This weekend, we take a look at why it all happened. Because whether you’ve known this story your whole life, or you only know bits and pieces of it — we often miss the why. I know I have. But understanding the why changes how we understand everything else.
