Before the Beginning (1 of 7)
Series: The Whole Story of the Bible
Scott Maze
Genesis 1:1-2; John 17:5,20-26
The Bible is a single story. It doesn't appear to be one story. For the Bible is long book, written over 1,500 years and in numerous different genres. But if you look closely enough, you'll find one cohesive story. It is one single story with unity and a compelling narrative. And we can summarize the Bible's single story line in just four sentences...
God made the world.
We rebelled against our ruler.
God reentered the world to redeem us.
And God will remake the world.

Over the next seven weeks, I want to try an experiment with you - something I have never done. I want to give the whole big picture of the Bible in one series. And here's a series preview. We'll begin in the beginning with the first several chapters in Genesis. Here we will see how it all began and how it all went wrong. Then we will move to the middle of the Bible and see what Jesus did to make everything right. What God did in Christ to correct the mess of this world. And then... we'll finish in the end of the Bible, in the book of Revelation and see how it's all going to come together. Throughout the seven weeks together, it will be my aim to unpack those four sentences carefully.
God made the world.
We rebelled against our ruler.
God reentered the world to redeem us.
And God will remake the world.
Let's go together.
Today, I want us to look at what is happening before anything happens. I want to invite you to climb into a time machine and travel back with through history to when there was nothing - nothing but God and God alone. Before any one of 118 elements on the periodic table were created. Before even an atom or molecule came into existence. Look back with me through the annals of time to what God was doing when He was alone. Let's look not so much for curiosity's sake or even to fill our minds with high and lofty thoughts that lend them ...
