As we journey through The Story, we will learn that heaven and earth are woven more closely together than we ever dreamed. All through the story of the Bible we see two parallel and beautiful dramas unfold; The Lower Story and the Upper Story.

​

Lower Story: We live on earth and see things from a horizontal perspective. We can’t see what is around the bend but must make a decision on which way to go, where we will live, and how we will respond to what happens to us. We focus on getting through the day as best we can. We interpret why we think other people do what they do. We struggle to know why certain things happen and why others things don’t happen.

​

Upper Story: This is how the story is unfolding from God’s perspective—from above. Heaven is breaking into our world more than we recognize, and the story of God’s seeking love, perpetual grace, and longing for relationship with ordinary people is breathtaking.

​

In the beginning, God walked with his first children in a beautiful garden and someday he will walk with us again. The question is: what will happen in the pages in between? As we walk through The Story together, we will see how God is weaving all of our Lower Stories to tell his one grand Upper Story. Best of all, we can walk closely with him in every situation of life. As we recognize how close the Upper Story and the Lower Story fit together, we will learn to experience God’s love and grace and be guided by his wisdom.
