Thursday and Friday, 7/31 - 8/1 - Biblical Overview

• P&P

Adam and Eve are driven from the Garden of Eden

• (Groups 2-3) Let's begin by reviewing the beginning of our story: Genesis 1-4 
• Ch 1 - The Creation of the World
• Ch 2 - Adam and Eve
• Ch 3 - The Fall
• Ch 4 - Cain and Abel

• 

  Cain slays his brother, Abel

  Unfortunately, we don't have much time to go through many Bible stories, but we can take a look at David and Solomon, the most well-known Kings of Israel, from whom comes Jesus Christ, who is known as King of kings and Lord of lords. When Jesus spoke of himself He said, "Something greater than Solomon is here." This sounds pretty crazy if you ask me . . . unless it's true, which is crazier! So . . . let's meet these two kings who preceded their greater Son, Jesus.
  • David is anointed King of Israel
  • David defeats Goliath
