The Whole Story Part One
Genesis – Deuteronomy

January 1st – March 14, 2025

In the beginning… God spoke, and the world came alive. Mountains rose, oceans swelled, and humanity was meticulously crafted in His image. 
In the beginning…. These three words set the stage for the greatest story ever told. A story of power, hope, and purpose. 
In the beginning… God speaks, and creation is born—a masterpiece, perfectly crafted for His glory and a beautiful picture of His image. 
In the beginning… Conflict arises. Sin disrupts paradise, breaking humanity’s intimate relationship with God.
 

From the first act of disobedience in the garden to the struggle of a people searching for their identity, the story of Scripture unveils God’s relentless pursuit of His people. From the promise to Abraham to the deliverance of His people from Egypt, we see Redemption unfold. Through the law at Sinai and the covenant with Israel, God reveals His heart—a holy, faithful God drawing His people back to Himself.

In the beginning… is a foundation of hope. A story more than a collection of heroic tales of history; but a story that reveals and unfolds God’s ultimate plan—the WHOLE STORY. A story that proclaims a Savior to restore all things. A Messiah to bring life. A King who will reign for all eternity. This is… The Whole Story.
