January 2, 2025

All of history is God’s story. The Bible is one single cohesive story with God as the main character and His plan unfolding. We are the pinnacle of His creation (Psalm 8) and have been created for His glory. This year, as a church family, we will focus on God’s story and His daily and eternal plan for us.

Consider God’s story in the passages below as they provide the story of the Bible at a glance.

Creation | Genesis 1:31

Fall | Genesis 3:11-13

Redemption | John 3:16 & Colossians 1:13-14

Restoration | Revelation 21:1-5
