The Bible Study Source series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, God the Creator includes high-quality, live audio sessions from the author that cover this important Bible-based topic. These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching.

Heaven and earth are woven more closely together than we might think. In this eight-session video Bible study, enter the creation of the world and the first movements of God's perfect plan to deliver his people.

Throughout the Bible - from its very first minutes to the culmination of Christ's return - there are two parallel dramas unfolding:

• The lower story, which describes the events from our human perspective.
• The upper story, which reveals how the events unfold from God's perspective.

The objective of God the Creator - the first in a series of three small-group studies in The Story series - is to introduce you to these lower and upper stories as told in the Old Testament books of Genesis through Ruth. As you read these narratives - featuring characters such as Adam, Eve, Abraham, Sarah, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Gideon, and Ruth - you will see how God has been weaving our lower story into the greater upper story that he has been writing.

This all-new audio study, adapted from content featured in The Story church-wide campaign, will introduce group members to the Upper Story and Lower Story as revealed in the books of Genesis through Ruth. The curriculum also includes an updated study guide with new content and questions adapted from The Story Study Guide, The Heart of the Story, and Exploring the Story by Randy Frazee.
