In his book, I Am Not but I Know I Am, Louie Giglio says, "Life is the tale of two stories - one finite and frail, the other eternal and enduring. The tiny one - the story of us - is as brief as the blink of an eye. Yet somehow our infatuation with our own little story - and our determination to make it as big as we possibly can - blinds us to the massive God Story that surrounds us on every side." Giglio continues to say that we have a choice. "We can choose to cling to starring roles in the little-bitty stories of us, or we can exchange our fleeting moment in the spotlight for a supporting role in the eternally beautiful epic that is the Story of God."
All throughout its pages, Scripture reveals the colossal Story of God, and how He desires for your story to collide and merge with His.
God invites us on a journey of a lifetime that begins upon faith in Jesus Christ.He is the Star of the story and deeply desires for you to know Him – not just facts about Him, but rather, to experience Him.
Trusting Jesus Christ is only the beginning of the exciting journey…there is more, much more to experience along the way before we enter those pearly gates.
John 17:3 (NIV)
Now this is eternal life:
that they know you, the only true God,
and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
He Is

Next week, we'll begin to get into the Word together...can't wait!
...ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
Fellow sojourner, as we embark on this journey through the Word together, my heart's desire for you is simple...gaze into the eyes of Jesus, the One and Only...may you better know Him and who you are in Him.
