Three Powerful Takeaways

  1. The Bible is One Unified Story.
    From Genesis to Revelation, God’s hand is writing one big narrative — and we’re part of it.
  2. We Need a Wider Lens.
    Most of us only see fragments. But stepping back to see the whole Bible changes how we see God, ourselves, and the world.
  3. The Journey Starts Today.
    This isn’t just a study — it’s a movement. A chance to watch God’s story unfold every day in bite-sized, powerful moments.

Three Follow-Up Questions

  1. Have you ever read the Bible as one connected story — not just isolated verses?
  2. What part of God’s big picture have you been missing?
  3. How would your life change if you saw your story inside His story?

✅ Three Powerful Takeaways

  1. The Bible assumes God’s existence — it doesn’t try to explain it.
    From the first verse, “In the beginning, God…” the Bible declares that God is real and active.
  2. Every culture throughout history has believed in some form of God.
    There’s something built into us that longs to understand our Creator.
  3. God invites us into relationship — not just knowledge.
    The goal is not just information, but connection with the Living God.

❓ Three Follow-Up Questions

  1. Do I believe God actually exists? Why or why not?
  2. What do I think God is like — in personality, power, or presence?
  3. If God is knowable, what’s stopping me from truly knowing Him today?

Three Powerful Takeaways

  1. God-awareness is universal.
    No people group in human history has lived without some concept of a god.
  2. Creation testifies constantly.

  3. Denying God takes more faith than believing.
    The reality of God is embedded in every detail of creation, waiting to be recognized.

Three Follow-Up Questions

  1. Why do you think every society has believed in some form of God?
  2. What part of creation most convinces you there is a Creator?
  3. What would change in your life if you fully accepted the evidence of God’s existence?
