One Man is Chosen (4 of 7)
Series: The Whole Story of the Bible
Scott Maze
Genesis 12:1-3; 15:1-6
We're doing a series on God's Big Story where we are tracing the central story line of the Bible. The aim of this series is to see the big picture of the Bible. I want to offer a bird's eye view, if you will. We live in a world that has tried to overlay their big stories as the TRUE story - the story in life that really matters. Marxism came along about a century ago to tell its story but collapsed in short order. Our Presidential candidates tell us the story of democracy and freedom that will cure all that ails us. And capitalism has promised to make all of our lives better but many have been left out in bread lines of depressions long ago. Yet, all these stories have been tried and found wanting.
Today, we live in a highly cynical world. We are cynical of everything and everyone. Yet, the central story of the Bible promises to be the central story of our lives. And it is the one story that actually delivers on what it promises.
The Bible's story can be unpacked in these four sentences:
God made the world.
We rebelled against our ruler.
God reentered the world to redeem us.
And God will remake the world.
So climb on top of the observation deck with me and let's get a better perspective of the Bible before us.

In fact, thing quickly got out of hand. When we left the First Couple, we witnessed them being banished from the perfect garden. And no sooner had the left the garden than their son, Cain, killed his brother, Abel over jealousy. Shortly after the Adam and Eve debacle, God pressed the reset button with a man named Noah: On Screen: ''The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of t ...
