Hello Everyone!
Welcome aboard “FEW Steps to Glory,” our unique series where we’ll be diving deep for spiritual growth using the insights from John Bunyan’s “The Pilgrim’s Progress.” It’s a blend of Sunday sermons, Wednesday night Bible studies, enriching blog posts, and your own creative expressions, all exploring the richness of this enduring classic.
Kicking Off with the Burden of Sin
Our first stop is a profound one: the burden of sin, as depicted in Bunyan’s narrative. This theme sets the stage for the entire journey, highlighting the weight and impact of sin in our spiritual lives. It’s a powerful starting point that resonates with all of us in different ways.
A Quick Intro to John Bunyan
Before we dive into the themes, let’s take a brief moment to introduce John Bunyan, the author behind this masterpiece. Bunyan was a man of deep faith who wrote “The Pilgrim’s Progress” from the confines of a prison cell. His story is as compelling as his book, and we’ll explore more about his life and times in a separate post. For now, just know that his experiences deeply influenced the profound allegories in his work.
