The Story of God and Man (with a Diagram)

This is a guest post by my good friend, Toby Kurth, pastor of Christ Church in San Francisco. I asked Toby to post the diagram he created for his current sermon series and to explain the series. This bookmark encapsulates our fall sermon series, “Covenant: The Story of God and Man.” We are using this series to help our people better understand what the Bible, as a whole, teaches about who God is, who we are, and why it matters. We are combining traditional elements of covenant theology with a simple narrative of redemptive history. We are not after just knowing more about the Bible, but are focusing, in particular, on taking hold of our identity in Christ. What we lost in Adam, we recover in Christ. Despite sin and rebellion, God continued to pursue humanity, culminating in the person and work of Christ. All of Scripture details God’s unfolding plan of redemption. Everything points to Christ. Everything we read in our Bibles fits somewhere into this amazing plan.We are taking fourteen sermons to unpack the series. The sermon headings are listed below.
