BIBLE BOOKS

STORY

20 

You don’t need to do anything to the board this week – just show it to them! Explain that this will be added to each week. This is the space that God created for the story to be told. 

SOURCE 

21

Draw the shape of the ‘land’ of the two testaments on the board and cover it in a collage of things from creation cut from magazines. This will need to be finished during the week. The space around the two testaments will be filled in during the HOPE session later.

During the week stick red threads across the board. These represent Jesus and his presence throughout the Bible - but don’t explain yet why they are there.

BROKEN

39

Splatter paint over the whole board to represent the brokenness of creation. Then add a ‘G’ for the beginning of the book of Genesis.

‘G’

Add the four gospels.

Matthew to John

SOLUTION

102 

Add some glitter over the rest of the ‘land’ of the New Testament to represent the fact that resurrection is a new start. The glitter and spatter paint will lie side by side, like the wheat and the tares. 

LIFE

HOPE

118

Create the ‘new heavens and new earth’ in collage in the remaining space on the board, around the ‘land’ of the Testaments. This will include images of what they imagine it to be like/what they are looking forward to.

Add the final book – Revelation – but explain that the theme of the future of the earth is present in different places in the Bible, not just in the last book.

Revelation
