Who am I?
I made everything.
God
But they sinned and had to leave the garden.
What is sin?
Choosing our way instead of God's way.
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John...
...Acts, Romans 1&2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians...
I built a (really) big boat according to God's instructions.
Noah
As people grew, sin grew until the whole world was full of sin. The sin was so bad that God sent...
a flood. But God saved Noah and his family.
Why did God make all things?
For his glory.
But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ...
I met God at a burning bush. I also led the Israelites out of Egypt.
Moses
After Moses led the people out of Egypt, they saw the Promised Land. They became afraid and didn’t want to go in, so...
God told them that because of their lack of faith, they would have to stay in the wilderness for the next forty years.
What does God's law require?
To love God with all your heart, soul, and might—and to love your neighbor as yourself.
And God spoke all these words, saying, "I am...
...the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt out of the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me."
I was the second King of Israel.
David
After David died, his son, Solomon, took his place as King of Israel. Solomon built the temple for God, but he also worshiped false gods. Because of Solomon’s disobedience, the Kingdom of Israel...
was divided into two: Israel and Judah.
What does a redeemer do?
Buys back what was lost.
Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to a land that I will show you.
I will make of you...
....a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.
I am the nation that defeated Judah.
Babylonia
The Assyrians conquered Israel. The Babylonians conquered Judah. The Israelites lived in Babylon for 70 years. After that...
...the Medes and Persians conquered Babylon and allowed the Israelites to return home to Judah.
How can I be saved?
Admit my sin and repent.
Believe that Jesus is the Son of God who died for me, was buried, and came back to life.
Confess my faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit...
...of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
