Basis

• Life is a story – His story
  • The metanarrative = meaning
• God’s speaking voice – the story teller

With every step of our lives we enter into the middle of some story which we are certain to misunderstand.
--- G.K. Chesterton

How God Has Spoken

• Through the ages, God has used a variety of ways to speak to His people.
• Except for the face to face conversation with Adam and Eve (Genesis 3:8), there are at least eight ways in which God spoke to His people in Bible times:

God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world. And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power.
- Hebrews 1:1-3a

Heart Hope
The kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
- Romans 14:17
