CBS is an
exciting approach for teaching the Bible based on a highly successful
method used in missions for over 25 years. Bible storying walks the listener
through a chronological series of stories that tells the Story of God and an
approach of telling that empowers and equips the listener to tell that Story to
others.
In The Bible Story of God there are 60 stories that provide an
overview of the Bible in chronological order. The entire set of 60 stories is
set in twelve rows of 5 stories. The left vertical column of 12 stories are the
keystone stories, or Beginning Story of
God and then each row fills in more and more sequential stories between the
first twelve in the left column.
This approach enables the
storyteller to use just 12 or any customized selection between the 12 keystone
stories and the additional stories from each row. Stories are told beginning at
the left column and working across each row, then dropping down to the row
below.
Unlike other “storying”
approaches, this is not intended to meet needs of specific people groups but
rather to first teach the overview of the Bible. Following this foundations
storytelling, additional stories can be developed and added around certain
themes or specific needs.
