Stories of God: Creation to Christ

Fifteen stories, one a week, carrying the whole story of God from the first day to the empty tomb — no commentary, no lectures, just the story.

Back to Bible Study Plans

Fifteen stories that carry the whole story of God — from the first day of creation to the empty tomb and beyond — told one a week, in order, so anyone can listen, retell, and discover, even with no Bible background at all. There is no commentary and no lecture; the stories speak for themselves. Unlike “The Whole Story: Creation to Jesus,” which pairs each Old Testament passage with a New Testament explanation, this plan is pure narrative from start to finish.
