Hello, friend! You’ve heard the old saying that sometimes you ‘can’t see the forest for the trees.’ Well, that’s exactly what can happen when we dive into the Bible without a map. We get so caught up in the individual leaves of a single verse that we lose sight of the magnificent forest God has planted across the centuries.
In this video, ‘Get the Big Picture First,’ I want to talk to you about the importance of a Bible survey. Before we dig into the deep theological ‘tree study’ of a specific book, we need to understand the landscape. That’s why I created the God’s Masterwork series—to give you that panoramic view of the entire forest. When you see how the Old and New Testaments connect, the individual books start to make so much more sense. Let’s learn how to step back and take in the beauty of the whole before we focus on the parts.
