Was Noah and the Ark
just a story about a flood?
Was David and Goliath
just a story about a slingshot?
Was Jonah and the whale
just another story like Pinocchio?
We all know the stories
But do we know that...
Noah was
obedient
"Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God...Noah did everything just as God commanded him. "Genesis 6
But do we know that
David
Trusted,
"The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion
and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine....
All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves;
for the battle is the Lord’s, and He will give all of you into our hands.” I Samuel 17
But do we know that
Jonah
prayed
"From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord his God. He said:
“In my distress I called to the Lord, and He answered me. From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help, and You listened to my cry." Jonah 2
Was Christmas
just a story about a baby in a manger?
Was Easter
just a story about a man on a cross?
Is Eternity
just about good people go to heaven?
But do we know that
The Baby had a
purpose
"But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth
His Son, born of woman,
born under the law,
to redeem those who were under the law,
so that we might receive adoption as Sons." Galatians 4:4-5
But do we know that
the Cross was about
Love
“For God so loved the world, that
He gave His only Son,
that whoever believes in Him
should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
We do know the stories about
Trust
Prayer
Purpose
&
Love
But do we
Believe~

A Real Life

His Story
making you so much more than just a story.
