The seventy-three books of the Bible come together to tell the story of God's saving plan. But is it merely an ancient document or collection of fables? Why do Catholics believe it is "inspired"—and what does "inspired" mean? In this session, we'll look at the Bible as an encounter in which the God who speaks to us as a Father lovingly speaks to his children.
Our modern world has lost its story. We don't know from where we came. We don't know why we're here. And we don't know where we're going. In this study we'll see that God wants to draw us into his greater story—one that rescues us from death and leads to an eternal relationship with him.
Jesus is more than a good teacher or good example. He claimed to be God. And that claim challenges all of us to make an important choice: Will we accept Jesus as who he said he is?
Through Jesus's Death on the Cross, God reveals himself most profoundly as the God who is love. Christ's sacrificial love saves us from sin and shows us the pathway to true human happiness. We are made to live like Christ: in total, self-giving love.
