The 'big story' in one minute
God made, Adam sinned
Eden lost, world ruined
World flooded, Noah saved
Rainbow signed, promise made
Abraham called, child pledged
Isaac born, Sarah laughed
Hebrew saved, Moses fled
Egypt plagued, God led
Land conquered, Saul crowned
Goliath slain, David reigned
People lapsed, prophet warned
Nation crushed, temple burned
Daniel prayed, lions starved
Esther dared, people saved
People left, Babylon defeated
Some returned, walls erected
Jesus born, John pointed
People hailed God's anointed
Jesus taught, people saved
Jesus healed, dead raised
Death died, Jesus rose
Spirit came, good news
Word spread, Church grow
Christ returns, all new
This poem is from an interesting book by Margaret
Cooling and is written by her. The book is
Creating a Learning Church: Improving teaching and
learning in the local church (Oxford: Bible Reading
Fellowship,2005). I strongly recommend
this book to those who are involved in the ministry of
teaching in the local church which means everyone.
Cooling gave the principles of learning and gave lots of
useful ideas and examples on teaching that facilitate
learning. Worth buying the book and referring to it
again and again. Simple to read too.
