The Story a Last Word

I have enjoyed reading and summarizing The Story with you. I hope you have grown in your trust of our living God. Enjoy this chapter-by-chapter summary of God’s storyline for humanity.

In Jesus,

Randy Russell

  1. Creation by God; people in His Own image; selfish sin by humans
  2. Abraham living by faith: for a place, a son & becoming a nation
  3. Joseph: you meant it for evil, God used it for good
  4. Moses drawn out of the water; Israel drawn out of Egypt
  5. The Law from God; a golden calf against God; the place of meeting
  6. Forty years of wandering; Moses passes the torch of leadership
  7. Joshua- the taking of the Promised Land by the exiles
  8. Judges- regional rescuers vs doing what is right in their own eyes
  9. Ruth makes herself available to be redeemed
  10. From regional silos to a national quest for a king
