The best way to understand your story is to connect it to God’s story.

You have a story. It’s yours. Unique and different from anyone else’s. Even more, your story has a purpose. God has said of you, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you” (Jeremiah 1:5). But if you’re like most, on some days, it may seem as if your story is a little off course. You wonder where it’s actually going.

The truth is that you cannot fully understand the meaning of your story apart from God’s story. When you study Scripture (God’s story), you learn not only who he is and what he’s done, but also his heart behind it all. You discover a God with a pursuing love who knows everything about you and has plans and purposes intended to help you live for what matters most . . . his glory!

This is the purpose of The Jesus Bible Study Series—to help you connect your story to God’s greater story. In Beginnings, the first study of this series, you will discover that your story began with a creating God. Scripture proclaims that you are created in his image! Your beginning started in the mind of a majestic God.

The Jesus Bible Study Series from the Passion Movement dives deep into Scripture, reveals how Jesus plays a key role in each and every story told throughout the Bible, and helps you discover God’s purpose and plan for your life in his great story. Each study in the series features one of six key “acts” of Scripture: (1) Beginnings, (2) Revolt, (3) People, (4) Savior, (5) Church, (6) Forever.
