Session 1: Introduction (14:54)
—Why study the Bible? Discover the vision for the Bible study Seamless: Understanding the Bible as One Complete Story as Angie Smith shares some of her story and how God birthed the ideas of this study from Angie's own journey as a new believer in Christ.
Session 2: The Beginning (15:33)
—There's a seamless thread woven through every story in the Bible—a thread that connects the people, places, and promises in Scripture and it starts in the beginning. This session will review segments of week 1 homework on creation, man and woman, the results of the fall, the flood, and the tower of Babel.
Session 3: The Patriarchs (15:51)
—The Patriarchs prove that God loves the broken and weak things (and people) of this world. This session reviews the Patriarchs, the call of Abram, how the 12 tribes of Israel were formed, and how God renames us.
Session 4: The Exodus and the Promised Land (16:51)

Session 5: The Kingdoms and the Prophets (12:17)
—Kingdoms unite and divide. The same thing happened among God's people the Israelites with their prophets, priests, and kings. This session reviews homework reminding us of the reign of King David, the building of the temple, and more on the background of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Session 6: The Messiah (11:41)

Session 7: The Letters (11:21)
—Christ came to save us and to set us free. The heart of Paul's message and others who wrote the books fo the New Testament is that we are made right by faith in Jesus Christ through grace.
