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.

The purpose of The Jesus Bible Study Series is to help readers understand that Jesus is front and center throughout the Bible. He is as visible on the first page of Genesis as he is one the last page in Revelation—as present in the Garden of Eden as he is in the garden tomb and the new heavens and new earth. As readers follow this thread, they will discover a new depth to the Bible's meaning as they come to discover Christ in every chapter of the story. In Savior, the fourth study in this series, readers will explore how God fulfilled his promise of sending the Messiah into the world by sending his only Son. Jesus was born into humble circumstances and raised by human parents. Once and for all, he appeased God's wrath against humanity's sin through his death on the cross, forever bringing to an end the old system of sacrifice and ritual. His sacrifice opened the way for rebels to come home to a peacemaking Father, and now, all are invited to come to God through him (see John 14:6). Sessions include: Eternity The God-Man Mission Kingdom Saved Alive

As readers follow this thread, they will discover a new depth to the Bible's meaning as they come to discover Christ in every chapter of the story. In People, the third study in this series, readers will explore how humanity's revolt against God resulted in struggles of every kind. But the Lord, through Abraham, commissioned a chosen people who would be a witness on earth of his faithfulness. Time and time again this people rejected him, but God was always quick to show mercy when they repented and called out to him. At each turn of this cycle of rejection, repentance, and restoration, God would announce through a prophet a coming Savior. Lessons include: Covenant The Law Worship Land Exile Uncertainty
