The Story Bible Study Series: God the Deliverer (Randy Frazee)

The Story Bible Study Series: God the Deliverer (Randy Frazee)

Randy Frazee teaches us that in the Bible there are two stories going on at the same time. There is the lower story which is how we see life from our perspective. Then there is the upper story which is how God sees things from his perspective. In God the Deliverer, the chronology from 1 Samuel to Malachi, the dysfunctional family of Israel is exiled, but God never abandons them. God is going to continue to bring his upper story to us in the second return of Jesus.
