Stormy Sea Story
As another huge splash of water came into the boat and onto his face. Andrew felt panic start to rise.
If the boat capsized, they would surely drown.
“Peter, wake Jesus!”
“What! Why? I’m a little busy!” Peter scowled at him, the rudder firmly clutched with both hands.
Andrew didn’t know why or what Jesus could do, but he had healed all sorts of diseases, so…?
“I don’t know. Maybe he can help bail!”

Will God be good to you too?
Do you realize the Bible is full of foreshadow?
Yes, that’s right. The same writing technique that makes Dickens and Shakespeare and Tolken amazing re-reads is all over the Bible.
God, the Master Storyteller, wants to reveal His love for you.
It’s buried in stories you may be familiar with; but have always taken at face value.
The (now) obvious foreshadow points to Jesus, His death, and resurrection.
That is the main story of the Bible, of course.
Yet hidden in the depths is much more: God’s goodness, Jesus’ grace, the Holy Spirit’s help which are still available TODAY.

had an amazing English teacher in 9th grade named Carol Virostek.
Mrs. Virostek made her class read A Tale of Two Cities.
She walked them through pages of Dickens’ brilliant foreshadow step-by-painful-step.
By the end of the semester, Chris was hooked on searching for foreshadow and began to read and then re-read her favorite books.
At the same time, she was reading the raw Bible stories that revealed real people struggling through life, depending on God. She found His overwhelming love compelled her to re-read the stories over and over.
Years later, she started to notice the amazing foreshadow God put in His book.

Past the Crowd
“Hi guys,” an excited little voice drew near. “Hey, Jesus just went by! Maybe he could heal you?”
“I wish, Mark. But he didn’t stop when we called him.”
“Really? Well we have to do something. C’mon, I just know he can make you see again!”
A little hand grasped Joe’s, tugging him forward. “I’m gonna lead you to him.”
