God the Deliverer Study Guide: Our Search for Identity and Our Hope for Renewal

God goes to great lengths to rescue lost and hurting people. In this 8-session video Bible study (streaming included), enter the unfolding progression of the Old Testament and the advancement of God's complex plan to deliver his people.

Deliverance is what the story of the Bible is all about. But throughout the Bible, 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 goal of the God the Deliverer Bible study is to introduce you to these lower and upper stories as told in the Old Testament books of 1 Samuel through Malachi and the thread of deliverance that weaves through them both.

As you read these narratives—featuring characters such as Samuel, Saul, David, Jeremiah, Daniel, Esther, Ezra, and Nehemiah—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:
