Living in a Larger Story Part 1

This is the introduction to a series that Northshore Vineyard will be going through over the next few weeks. The story that God began in a garden in Genesis 1-2 ends in a city in Revelation 21-22. If we misunderstand the beginning and the ending of the story then chances are that we will miss much of the point in the middle where we now find ourselves. However, when we properly understand the beginning and the end then we will find unfolding meaning and purpose right here. We will find that Christianity is not simply about going somewhere else when we die but that the real action is right here, right now, lived in the story that God is writing. The podcast of the audio from Crispin's message given on Saturday October 24 at Northshore Vineyard Church.
