The Bible in One Week.
A public read-aloud from Genesis to Revelation hosted by Bread Cafe.
“The Whole Story” - What and Why?
The Whole Story is a public read-aloud of the entire Bible - from Genesis to Revelation - in one week, hosted by Bread Cafe in Yeovil.
Both Celebration & Preparation
A Christian who loves their Bible will regularly hear from God and be a man or woman of faith — because the spiritual substance of faith comes by hearing.
But a Christian who ignores their Bible has no right to expect to hear from God. If we are not walking in the revealed will of Scripture, we shouldn’t expect a prophetic word. Friends, the Church needs to get back into the Bible — the whole story.
Not just the parts that make us feel good.
Not just the parts that fit comfortably with culture or our inoffensive lifestyle.
Not just the parts that don’t upset people.
But the whole counsel of God.
Paul said, “I am innocent of the blood of all men, for I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God.”
Imagine that — that we can have blood on our hands because we kept truth back from people, because we didn’t proclaim or share the whole counsel of God. We gave them endless milkshake and no meat. Endless candy floss, feel-good words with no warning, no sword that cuts. This is a big deal!
We need to know our Bibles again. We need to go deep into Scripture and discover who God says He is — not who we imagine Him to be. Let’s stop remaking God in our own image and instead seek the One who has revealed Himself in sixty-six books, and ultimately through His Son, Christ Jesus — who is on every page.
The Whole Story is a week long celebration of all God’s promises and purposes for His people, joining in the rich tradition in Scripture of the public recital of God’s Word: from Moses and Joshua (Joshua 8:34), through Josiah (2 Kings 22) and Ezra (Nehemiah 8), and most notably commanded during the Feast of Tabernacles — a tradition that Jesus Himself participated in (John 7:37). The prophet Zechariah tells us that the whole Church will celebrate it together following Jesus’ triumphant second coming
Don’t miss out on feasting on the history books, the wisdom, the psalms and the lament, the prophets — major and minor — the gospels, the epistles, and the wild and crazy Revelation.
If you need to hear from God — and let’s face it, we all do — then set this time apart.
I invite you to join us for a week of reading the Bible together.
We’re calling it “The Whole Story” — because we need to know the whole story.
“And Moses commanded them, saying: “At the end of every seven years, at the appointed time in the year of release, at the Feast of Tabernacles, when all Israel comes to appear before the Lord your God in the place which He chooses, you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing.” Deuteronomy 31:10-11
“And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.” Zechariah 14:16
