God the Creator Study Guide: Our Beginning, Our Rebellion, and Our Way Back

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:
