CREATION TO CHRIST STORYTELLING

CREATION TO CHRIST STORIES 

Storytelling can be a powerful contemplative practice. It helps you meditate on the stories in the Bible in a new way. It is also a way to bless other people. Several years ago, I recorded many of the stories that we cover in the Bible Book Club in a storytelling form. They are not professional or polished, but I share them with you!


I bolded the prophets emphasized in each story. Stories in italics are not on the Discover App, but they are good for certain groups of people and for continuity. The app has wonderful audio of these stories in many languages. It is phenomenal and developed since I recorded all of these stories. 

All the numbers for the stories correspond to the number of the Discovery App. My stories are in chronological order so the numbers reflect the difference. I did not record stories for #11, 17, 20, 22, and 24 on the app.

OLD TESTAMENT STORIES (10 – 34:32)

1-2.      ADAM Creation of World & Man 2:47 – Genesis 1:1-25; 2:4-25 (can do in two stories)

3.         Fall 3:46 – Genesis 3:1-24

4.         NOAH’s Flood 3:17 – Genesis 6:5-9:17

5-6.      ABRAHAM’s Promise and Sacrifice 3:54 – Genesis 12-22 (Gen 22 story told separately is 1:45)

7.         MOSES and the Passover 3:45  Exodus 11:4-5; 12:1-32

                        7a. Exodus/Red Sea 2:04 – 13:17-14:30 (not in Discover App)

10.       DAVID 3:16 – 1 Sam 16:1-13; 2 Sam 7:8-17. The Discovery App only has Psalm 23, but I like to give a background story about David since Jesus is in David’s Kingly line.
