The Story Begins. The first chapter of the story is a readable 12 pages that takes us from the creation, to the fall of humanity, to how God responds. If you've ever played 'hide and seek' with a child, you know the drill. They seek out a quiet corner, a spot behind the sofa, or tuck themselves behind the drapes. Especially when your children were younger, their hiding places were quite easy to spot but with experience and age the hiding spots become more sophisticated and the game takes a bit longer for the seeker. When God walks in the garden and calls out to Adam and Eve after their 'apple tree' temptation, they hide. And God begins to seek. Thus begins an ancient story of humanity trying to hide from our Creator. Come and join us this Sunday as our message will ask us to join the ancient game of 'hide and seek'.
Blessings,
Pastor Rob
