Overview of God’s Story

Adam and Eve rejected God’s instruction not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and rebelled against God. Their sin introduced pain, suffering, and death. Ultimately, it brought separation from God. Learn more.
At the right time, God sent forth his own Son – Jesus Christ our Lord to provide redemption and reconciliation. Jesus, fully God and fully man, lived without sin. He gave up his life as a ransom for many. He rose again bodily, conquering sin and death. Now, all who call on his name for forgiveness of sins will be saved. Learn more.
Jesus has promised he will return, and all wrong things will be made right. He will create a new heaven and a new earth, and those who are in Christ will receive new bodies. God will be with us, and we will be with God for everlasting life. Learn more.
