Publisher's Synopsis
Heaven and earth are woven more closely together than we might think. In this 8-session video Bible study (streaming included), enter the creation of the world and the first movements of God's perfect plan to deliver his people.
Throughout the Bible--from its very first pages to the culmination of Christ's return--there are two parallel dramas unfolding:
- The lower story, which describes the events from our human perspective.
- The upper story, which reveals how the events unfold from God's perspective.
The objective of God the Creator--the first in a series of three small-group studies in The Story series--is to introduce you to these lower and upper stories as told in the Old Testament books of Genesis through Ruth. As you read these narratives--featuring characters such as Adam, Eve, Abraham, Sarah, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Gideon, and Ruth--you will see how God has been weaving our lower story into the greater upper story that he has been writing.
This study guide has everything you need for a full Bible study experience, including:
- The study guide itself--with discussion and reflection questions, video notes, and Scripture readings.
- An individual access code to stream all eight video sessions online.
- And the physical DVD.
Sessions include:
- The Beginning of Life as We Know It (Genesis 1-11)
- God Builds a Nation (Genesis 12-36)
- From Slave to Deputy Pharaoh (Genesis 37-50)
- Deliverance (Exodus 1-17)
- Wanderings (Exodus 18-Numbers 27)
- The Battle Begins (Joshua 1-24)
- A Few Good Men . . . and Women (Judges 1-21)
- The Faith of a Foreign Woman (Ruth 1-4)
The God the Creator Study Guide is part of The Story Bible Study Series: a three-part Bible study drawn from Randy Frazee's bestselling The Story, which reveals the Bible as a single, continuous narrative of God and his people.
