Story Feast: A Picture of Grace:

We had so much fun with the music, I thought we’d try photographs. Bring a photograph, if possible, and a story to share. Here is one verse to ponder as you consider this topic.

“Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he really and truly is.”

1 John 3:2

We know the saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words,” but pictures also tell a thousand stories. Even the lack of photos from a season of our lives can tell a story.

Choose a photo and tell a story related to that picture. You can take this in lots of directions; here are a couple of suggestions.

1. Think about the picture in light of transformation, and even gospel transformation. How do you look different, both externally and internally, than when this picture was taken? What was the story of your life when this picture was taken? How is your story different now than it was then?
2. Psalm 145:1-2: “I will tell of your marvelous deeds…I will show your wonderful works. Tell the story connected to this picture. What is the setting (time, place)? What happened? Who are the main characters? Are there any marvelous works of God this picture shows?
