Welcome & Introduction

Video: Review Game (1:48)

 How did you do with last week's challenges?

This week we will learn about Salvation History.  We begin by addressing the question, "How could a good God allow so much suffering and evil?". We explore the goodness of God's creation, how sin and evil entered the world, and God's redemptive plan (the "plot" of salvation history), which centered on the person and work of Christ and the establishment of the Church.

Chosen - Lesson 3 - What's your story God? (A Look at Salvation History) 

Dive In: A Confusing Story

Without God, life has no beginning, no end, and no meaning.  With God, He brings a large overarching story that the creation of the universe, the events of human history, and the story of your life fit within.  That story offers us a deep sense of meaning and purpose.

To The Heart

If you want to get to know someone (instead of just "about" someone), you have to spend time with that person. And the best way to get to know the author of our salvation story is to spend time with him, talking with him, and learning to listen to him as you read that story together.
