4. There is a theme that runs through the Bible
There is mankind who by his own nature and choices shows himself to be broken and flawed.
There is God who by His own nature and choices shows Himself to be holy, gracious, and totally in charge.
There is a God that you can know and experience and He will transform you.
There is a story for you to live in that is bigger and better than anything you have ever known.

5. Creation and Adam
And God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may eat freely’ but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you shall surely die.”

6. Adam and the Fall
Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Indeed, has God said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden?...You surely shall not die!...For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed. He shall bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise him on the heel.

7. Noah
Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and the every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. And the Lord said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land…
But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.

8. Tower of Babel
And they said, “Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name; lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.
So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of the whole earth; and they stopped building the city. Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of the whole earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of the whole earth.

9. Abraham
Now the Lord said to Abram, “God forth from your country, and from your relatives and from your father’s house, to the land which I will show you; and I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make you name great; and so you shall be a blessing; and I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse.
Then he believed in the Lord; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness.

10. Abraham The picture of Isaac: the son of promise
carrying the wood on his back
to be a sacrifice
and God delivers!
“And in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”

11. Job
There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job, and that man was blameless, upright, fearing God, and turning away from evil.
Uz- “the place of wood”
Job- “hated and despised”
“And as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last He will take His stand on the earth. Even after my skin is destroyed, yet from my flesh I shall see God.”

12. Have you considered my servant Job?
