Nicole Lawn is passionate to know God. This compels her to seek Him and His truth resulting in an abundant wealth of discovery. As she taught The Original last year, she made a consistent request for herself and encouraged those studying with her to beseech God in asking Him, “God, make Jesus more real to me.” It is this directional heart focus that motivates her. Nicole was born in Los Angeles and raised in North Virginia where her family still resides. She grew up in Reston Bible Church in Reston, Virginia, where at the age of five she trusted Christ as her Savior. She experienced a spiritual turning point in her formative |

What is THE INVITATION?
The God of Creation invites us to know Him. The God of Creation invites us into intimate relationship with Himself. That is the story of the Bible. He tells us all about Himself, what has happened, and what will happen. God wants us to SEE HIM in His faithfulness and blessing. It is His story and we are invited into it. God does not force anyone into relationship with Himself. It is God’s desire that we see and know Him and enter into the Father’s heart of blessing. This is The Invitation. We are totally free to accept or, although foolish, to reject the invitation.
We take a fresh approach to this study, something different than you may have done before. We will study the Old Testament as ONE story. For our purpose it is not many books but simply one story of God. In this One Story, God clearly tells us why we can believe Him and live under His authority. We will read it as literature written by God for us, but read it as we would view any good book with one story. Often the best books leave subtle clues that can be overlooked but later turn out to point the way to the deeper story. Yes, in the Old Testament we will find little treasures that seem strange or even misplaced in the reading but will often leave strategic statements for understanding something important later. As in other great books, there is a deep thread that weaves its way throughout the story but is often missed unless the reader sees deeply into the author’s intent. This usually happens when the reader enjoys the surface story or stories and focuses only on that upper journey. We will search for threads weaving each surface story together into one greater story. |
