Stephen Manhanga telling a story at Crossroads Community Church
The launch of Chronological Bible Storying at Crossroads Community Church has been very exciting. Moving away from the conventional preaching slots, stories are now being told from the Bible chronologically and discussions are held after.
In the rural context in Kezi, this is brilliant because most people enjoy telling stories around a fire. How better can it get if the stories are Biblical and people’s hearts and lives can be changed by the power of the word!
Why do Chronological Bible Storying?It is easy to understand and there is an opportunity for discussion and questions.
It’s hard to forget
Lessons to be learnt from the stories
Comparisons and perspectives come out clearly
Hearts and minds are spoken to
Chronological Bible Storying is different
It has a humble and indirect way of speaking to people and cuts through culture.
Captures attention.

The heart of Chronological Bible Storying is to help people understand what God is doing and to see the BIG PICTURE.
