This year, Deborah and I have had the privilege of lecturing the Intermission Class “Exploring God’s Word”, where we have explored the Scriptures through the 6 acts: Creation, Fall, Covenant, Jesus, the Church and New Creation.
In our two years teaching this class, we have been amazed at the questions and wonderings of young people as they dive deeper into the collection of stories that make up the grand story of God’s Word.
Every year our final assignment involves students creatively presenting the Story of Scripture. We have had spoken word poetry, paintings, youtube clips, Ted-talk style presentations, an original song, and even a Minecraft video!
This picture is of McKayla Sinclair, presenting her carved whakairo depicting the story of Scripture (if you see her around, ask her what the different parts mean!). For us, it was a beautiful depiction of the imagination that is sparked when we encounter Scripture as “our story”.
