People Bible Study Guide : The Story of God’s Promise

 When God’s people break their word, God keeps his promise.

Not only is your story woven into God''s larger story, but you are also part of the tribe whom God is calling to himself. In the six lessons of People, you will explore how the nation of Israel was impacted by the unfolding drama of their cycle of revolt against God, and why the Lord commissioned a chosen people who would be a witness on earth of his faithfulness. Time and time again, God''s people turned their backs on him, but God was always quick to show mercy when they repented and called out to him. The cycle we see again and again throughout the Old Testament isn''t just about the Israelites; it''s also about us. We are all participants in the pattern of revolt, repentance, and restoration.

People will help you see how God works out his glorious plans, despite our defiance, to bring his promises to fruition, and you will also grasp that no matter how many times you turn away, God seeks you out to bring you back. Every time. People is the third of six volumes in the Jesus Bible Study Series, following Beginnings and Revolt. Work through all the volumes in any order individually or within a group setting.
