A memorable way of understanding the overarching story of Holy Scripture using all C’s:
1. Creation – God makes a good world
2. Corruption – the Fall (Adam & Eve, sin enters)
3. Catastrophe – the Flood (Judgment on the world, salvation of Noah’s family)
4. Covenant – Abraham, God’s promise to bless the world through one family
5. Crossing – Exodus, slavery to freedom (Moses, Red Sea)
6. Commandments – Sinai, Israel becomes a covenant nation
7. Conquest – entering the Promised Land (Joshua)
8. Chaos – Judges, a cycle of sin and rescue
9. Crown – the Kingdom (Saul, David, Solomon, the Temple)
10. Collapse – the kingdom splits, then falls into exile (Babylon)
11. Coming home – the Return, rebuilding Jerusalem
12. Christ – incarnation, cross, resurrection.
13. Commission – disciple the nations
14. Commencement – Christ’s ascension to His throne, establishment of His Kingdom
15. Church – the Spirit-filled mission (Acts, the letters)
16. Consummation – Christ’s final return, last judgment, Kingdom fully realized
