Living Bible Stories®
Living Bible Stories® offers a unique presentation of biblical characters. They are first-hand accounts of the actions and events in the character’s faith journey brought to life through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Living Bible Stories® uses the existing worship setting to present the emotional and faith struggle of the character. This powerful form allows the Holy Spirit to engage the worshiper directly, making each worshiper a part of the spiritual experience and faith journey.
The stories are in the oral tradition of storytelling.
They utilize the Bible and other relevant texts as resources. The presentation becomes a communication between the Holy Spirit, the biblical character, and the worshiper.
Currently, Revitalizing Ministries is featuring the following Living Bible Stories®.
Bartholomew
This little known apostle tells the story of the last days of Jesus and his personal struggle with an incomplete faith.
For three years he was plagued by an intellectual faith in Jesus’ teachings and an inability to feel Christ’s message in his heart. It is only when he witnesses Thomas’ hand being placed in the side of the risen Christ, that he discovers a saving faith and feels the power of God’s love.
Zacchaeus
This biblical tax collector tells the story of his personal persecution by everyone in the community including Jesus’ followers. His resentment and hatred toward them was internally eating at his soul. This was his sin, which drove him to search for a better way.
When Jesus visits his home he feels in him an acceptance and love he never felt before. His visit was transforming him. As he listens to Jesus he learns a better way; a way to love his enemy; a way to pray for those who persecute him. Thus, the rainbow of God’s promise touched his heart.
