The Heart of the Story

Thanks so much for your participation, our winners have been selected!!

Hope you guys are getting ready for a great Labor Day weekend. Even though it’s going to be around 100 degrees we’re going to brave the elements and go camping. If we don’t sweat to death, I think we just might have a blast.

Going into this weekend I wanted to tell you guys about a fantastic book that’s just now releasing by one of my all time favorite pastors, Randy Frazee.

The Heart of the Story will open your eyes to God’s master plan unfolding in the lives of the Bible characters – and in your own life.  Discover the heart of God’s story and the joy that comes as you align your story with God’s.

To understand the Bible, says Randy you need bifocal lenses, because two perspectives are involved.  The Lower Story, our story, is actually many stories of men and women interacting with God in the daily course of life.  The Upper Story is God’s story, the tale of His great, overarching purpose that fits all the individual stories together like panels in one unified mural. My prayer for you is not complicated. It’s real simple. I desire that you won’t let another day go by without taking hold of this precious life that God has made available for you. I hope you find what’s shared here full of practical ideas and the courage you need to seize the day.

Randy Frazee is senior minister of Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas. Prior to  his role at Oak Hills, he served as the teaching pastor at Willow Creek Community Church and spent 15 years as the senior pastor at Pantego Bible Church in Fort Worth Texas.

I’m so thankful for this book and for Randy’s heart and passion for serving God’s people. The Heart of the Story will prove to be an amazing resource for you and your church. As you breathe in and fully comprehend the intricate, masterful design of God for all of mankind, and see how it’s illustrated continually throughout all of Scripture, your view of God will be forever enlightened and transformed.

God cares infinitely more about who we’re becoming than where we’re going.  This book has the potential to take you to the next level in who you’re becoming.  The more we understand the heart of God’s Story, the more we understand our own. Purchase your copy here.

We’re giving away 5 Free Copies of Randy’s book today.  Just leave your name and city in the comments and you’ll automatically be in for the random drawing.

    I love the first few words in the video. It spoke truth into my heart. Accepting God’s path instead of my path has been a freedom from self. I have resigned as the architect of my life.

    Where is the meat of the scriptures, some inspirational looking material, but the Messiah was teaching the fact of the matter his commandments. God says his was are not our ways
