"How It All Started" examines some of Israel's earliest stories, including Creation, the family line of Abraham, and tensions between Jacob and Esau. The increase of God's people and God's faithfulness to his covenant with them are also covered. In the midst of family rivalries and situations that seem hopeless, God continues to bless and provide. These lessons teach youth the story of God's creative power from the creation of the universe through human creation to the creation of a covenant people. Students will learn the Word of God, apply it to their lives in practical ways, and build the relationships and the disciplines necessary to grow strong in their faith.
