The Bible is one grand story of God's love for us. Like all good stories, God's story follows a narrative pattern and is arranged into 5 movements. Understanding these movements will help you to understand the big picture of God's story. Each week will begin with the description of the movement you're reading in that week.
Movement 1: The Story of the Garden
In the Upper Story, God creates the Lower Story. His vision is to come down and be with us in a beautiful garden. The first two people reject God’s vision and are escorted from paradise. Their decision introduces sin into the human race and keeps us from community with God.
At this moment God gives a promise and launches a plan to get us back. The rest of the Bible is God’s story of how he kept that promise and made it possible for us to enter a loving relationship with him.
