Men's Bible Study at Rolling Hills Community Church in Lago Vista, TX In Session 1, "Creation: The Beginning of Life as We Know It," you will study foundational keys to the Christian faith. The Story: To understand the Bible, says author and pastor Randy Frazee, you need bifocal lenses, because two perspectives are involved. The Lower Story, our story, is actually many stories of men and women interacting with God in the daily course of life. The Upper Story is God’s story, the tale of his great, overarching purpose that puts the individual stories together like panels in one unified mural. Bestselling author Max Lucado also adds some introductory insights. Through these 31 video sessions, The Story small group study opens your eyes to God’s master plan as it unfolds in the lives of the Bible’s characters. Discover the heart of God’s Upper Story and the joy that comes as you align your story with God’s

Editor's Notes
- Before we start – any comments concerning this weeks reading?
- How important are this questions? Are the “days” of creation 24 hour days? Is the Earth Young or Old? Was the Flood local or the entire planet?
- The Creation: Where do we come from? Question: When God looked at creation and declared it both “good” and “very good,” what do you think He was trying to express? Genesis 1:26-27 says we are made in the image of God. How do we, as people, actually reflect the image of God?
- The Fall of Man What is wrong with the world? Question: The story of the fall indicates that every part of God’s good creation was fractured by Adam and Eve’s rebellion. As you observe our world, what evidence do you see that the world was created to be a good and beautiful place? Where do you see evidence that it is broken by sin? If you could take a walk with God in the perfect garden of paradise, just like you would with a friend, what would you ask Him and why?
- Question: In the flood story, we encounter a God who takes action to prevent the spread of human rebellion and sin by destroying most of His creation. The flood is both an act of judgment and salvation. How do you see these two activities of God reflected in the story? How do these themes differ from the “popular” picture of God that is often presented in this passage?
- Enoch: Genesis Chapter 5. The grave yard of Genesis Everybody dies! Except Enoch Genesis 5:18-24 Jared lived one hundred and sixty-two years, and became the father of Enoch. Then Jared lived eight hundred years after he became the father of Enoch, and he had other sons and daughters. So all the days of Jared were nine hundred and sixty-two years, and he died. Enoch lived sixty-five years, and became the father of Methuselah. Then Enoch walked with God three hundred years after he became the father of Methuselah, and he had other sons and daughters. So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him. Hebrews 11:5-6 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death; and he was not found because God took him up; for he obtained the witness that before his being taken up he was pleasing to God. And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.
- Personal reflection: Take time this week to meditate on the depths of God’s love for human beings. Why would He keep pursuing us even after we have rebelled and rejected Him?
