      God's Story, Your Story Participant's Guide - Max Lucado

      INTRODUCTION

      STORIES ARE FOR TELLING

      FROM THE DAWN OF TIME HUMAN BEINGS HAVE LOVED TO TELL stories. In ancient days most stories were kept alive with a rich oral tradition where one generation would pass the stories on to the next through the simple process of telling them … over and over again.

      With time, the stories were written down and captured on paper so that they would be remembered for generations to come. Eventually, with the advent of the printing press, stories could be placed in a book and shared with people all over the world.

      Even in our modern time, many of the most influential people in our culture are master storytellers. We call them producers and directors, and they make movies that capture epic themes that touch the heart and stir the imagination.

      We love stories … both hearing and telling them. God has made us this way, because he is the ultimate storyteller. His story precedes the first star being tossed into the darkness of space and will continue after the final breath is taken on this small marble we call earth.

      God’s story, the story above all other stories, begins in a garden paradise and ends in the glory of heaven. What happens in between is captured in the pages of the Bible. As we listen and hear the story of God’s work in human history, we discover that our story is woven into the pages of Scripture. The same God who walked with Adam and Eve wants to walk with us. The God who called the people of Israel to holiness and intimacy with him is speaking to you and me. The Jesus who came to earth to live, die, and rise again is present right where you are gathered with your small group. The story of God is still being written, and we are players in the drama that is unfolding today.

      In the six sessions of your small group experience, we invite you to enter into the story. Our hope and prayer is that you will enter this journey of telling your story and hearing the stories of others with great anticipation. This discussion guide is designed to create an environment where group members can tell their story and God can teach and speak through the process.

      So share your stories with freedom and joy. And, as you do, you will draw closer to the Master Storyteller in fresh new ways.

      SESSION 1

      WHEN GOD’S STORY BECOMES YOURS

      God’s story is glorious,

      surprising, victorious, and beautiful.

      His story, when we really listen closely,

      is our story.

      INTRODUCTION

      Do you remember a time you got lost? Perhaps it was a crowded day at the mall, and you wandered away from Dad and Mom for just a moment, and they were gone. You felt the paralyzing fear of looking around and failing to see the north star of your parents’ strong presence. You were lost.

      Maybe it was a school trip to the zoo
