We all have stories from the Bible that we think we know. Many of us first heard them when we were children, so we naturally remember the simple version — the ark, the giant, the coat, the tree, the son who came home. But those stories were never meant to stay in childhood.

In this series, True Story: What We Missed When We Were Kids, we are going back to some of the most familiar stories in Scripture and looking at them with fresh eyes. We will pay attention to the details we may have missed, the tension we may have overlooked, and the truth God was revealing through ordinary people in real situations.

These stories are not just about what happened long ago. They help us understand who God is, how He works, why our choices matter, what faith looks like when life is difficult, and how grace meets us in the middle of our mess.

From the garden to the prodigal son, we will discover that God has always been telling one story — a story of pursuit, mercy, redemption, and life-changing truth. And by His grace, that story still speaks to us today.
