With this accompanying Study Guide, you'll be able to make the journey even more rewarding. The Volume 4 Study Guide matches the first volume of the book series, and will help you unlock the Bible Story from Romans to Revelation.

Volume 4 is a perfect follow-up to studying volume 3, which takes you through the beginning books of the New Testament, from Matthew to Acts--you or your small group could move through the entire New Testament by using volume 3 and 4 in less than a year. Then dive into the Old Testament study guides also by using volume 1 and 2!

Unlocking the Bible Story Study Guide Volume 4 - Colin S. Smith
City
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the final volume in a series of four study guides designed to help small groups grasp the big picture of the Bible. The studies are based on the four-volume book series Unlocking the Bible Story. They will take you on a fascinating journey through the Scriptures.
The whole Bible is one story. It begins with two people in a beautiful garden and ends with a vast crowd in a magnificent city. Once you have grasped the main story line, you will be able to see how the individual stories of the Bible fit together, how the whole Bible points to Jesus Christ, and how God speaks through the Bible into your life today.
As you prepare for each study, you will find it helpful to read the relevant chapter from the Bible along with the chapter from Unlocking the Bible Story (volume 4). Then, as you gather with others to discuss what you have read, the study guide will help you to apply what you have learned. (This study guide also can be helpful for individual study and application of each chapter.)
Study guide volume 4 leads us through the letters written to the New Testament churches, which tell the full significance of what God has done in Jesus Christ, and concludes with the revelation of the apostle John, who brings us right into the future city of God. Together, study guides three and four take you through the entire New Testament and can be completed by a small group meeting weekly in less than one year.
For the complete journey through the Bible, consider also touring the Old Testament with study guides one and two. Imagine how much your group could benefit from a journey through the entire Bible in less than two years!
