Romans 8:28 (NIV84) 28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
The story of Joseph is one of the best examples of God working in both the Lower Story and the Upper Story.

• The Lower Story is what is happening in the now. It your personal adventure.
• The Upper Story is what God is doing in History.
• Many times we are only focused on the Lower Story, but when we see our story in the context of HisStory our struggles find greater value.

“God Builds a Nation”

In many TV action series, the show will begin with a review. Let’s do that with The Story revealed in the Bible. Last time we discovered that God’s vision in creation is to be with us. Adam and Eve chose a different vision and sin and the sinful nature entered the human race. Yet, God passionately pursues us at great cost. In this part of the Story, we discover that God decides to build a nation and through that new nation win us back to God.

There’s Been An Accident!
Galatians 6.1-5

The average person will be in seven car accidents in their lifetime. I’ve been in four to date. One I wasn’t driving. Two weren’t my fault and one I hit my wife.

Galatians 6.1-2 – “Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. 2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.”

We find Paul doing three things in the book of Galatians.

The beginning of our journey through the story of the Bible is like the beginning of an action-packed movie. If you miss the opening minutes of a movie with its fast-paced scenes, you will not understand the rest of the story. It is the same with the Bible’s grand Story. The Story opens with a “big bang.” Not the “big bang” of evolutionary theory, but the “big bang” of the revelation of God Who is the main character of the Grand Story.

I want to quote a portion of a verse that shows up 125 times in the NIV version of the Old Testament. “...the word of the Lord came to...” It is a common phrase. What does this mean?

Over the past few weeks we have been looking at our spiritual DNA. We have been discussing what God has made us to be as we look to become the person that God has intended us to become. With that in focus I would like for us to ask a why question today. Why did God create us? Why did God then pay such a costly price to redeem us? When we answer these questions we can see what our purpose is today.

Surprise!
I love surprises! God is full of surprises. As a follower of Christ we should learn to expect the unexpected. God is faithful yet unpredictable, reliable yet full of surprises. Trustworthy yet unbridled.

Over the past few weeks we have been looking at the ways that God shows up in our lives. Throughout the book of Acts, Luke the writer, gives accounts of Jesus literally showing up in peoples lives. The way that he talks about these CONTACTS as if they were nothing big or out of the norm says a lot.

New Hope’s Wednesday night Connect discusses one of the most mysterious books of the Bible, Revelation.

Titles Are Important
Titles matter. I have heard people say, in fact I have even said, the title isn’t important just let me do the work. It is as if the title isn’t important at all. The truth is that titles are important. If you are having troubles on a phone call to customer service somewhere what do you do? “May I speak to your manager?” Titles matter if your title is The President of the United States.

When someone signs on the dotted line they are promising to fulfill the promise. In this series we learn:
The covenant name of God.
We discover the character behind the name of God revealed in human experience.
And the power of the Name of Jesus.
