 Old Testament:

1. Creation of the World (Genesis 1:1-31) - This story describes how God created the world in six days,
culminating in the creation of humans in His image.

-Day 1: God created light and separated it from darkness, calling the light "day" and the darkness "night."

Day 2: God created the sky, separating the waters above from the waters below.

Day 3: God gathered the waters below into one place, forming seas, and caused dry land to appear, creating the
earth. He then caused plants, trees, and vegetation to grow on the land.

Day 4: God created the sun, moon, and stars to give light to the earth and to mark days, seasons, and years.

Day 5: God created sea creatures and birds, filling the waters and the sky.

Day 6: God created land animals, and then He made humankind in His image, male and female, giving them
dominion over the earth and instructing them to be fruitful and multiply. He also provided plants and fruits for
their food.

Day 7: God rested from His creative work, sanctifying the seventh day as a day of rest, which would later
become the Sabbath.

This narrative emphasizes that God is the Creator of the universe and everything in it. It highlights the order and
purpose in God's creation and underscores the special role of humanity as stewards of the earth. According to the
narrative, God saw that everything He had created was "very good."

The story of the Creation of the World in Genesis serves as the foundation for many beliefs in Judeo-Christian
theology, including the idea that all of creation is the result of God's intentional design and that humans have a
unique place in God's plan as bearers of His image and stewards of His creation. It is a story that has been
studied, interpreted, and celebrated for centuries and continues to be of great significance in religious and
philosophical discussions.

2. Noah's Ark and the Great Flood (Genesis 6:5-9:17) - This narrative tells the story of Noah, who was chosen
by God to build an ark to save himself, his family, and pairs of animals from a catastrophic flood.

- Background (Genesis 6:5-7): The story begins with God observing the wickedness and corruption of
humanity. He decides to bring a catastrophic flood to cleanse the Earth of this wickedness. However, God
chooses to spare Noah, a righteous man, and his family. God instructs Noah to build an ark to save himself, his
family, and pairs of animals from the impending flood.

Building the Ark (Genesis 6:13-22): God provides Noah with specific instructions for building the ark,
including its size, dimensions, and the materials to use. Noah faithfully follows God's instructions and begins
constructing the ark.

The Flood (Genesis 7:1-24): After the ark is completed, God instructs Noah and his family to enter the ark,
along with the animals. Then, the heavens open, and it rains continuously for forty days and forty nights. The
waters from the heavens and the depths of the Earth rise, covering the entire land, and the floodwaters prevail for
150 days.
 The Ark Rests on Mount Ararat (Genesis 8:1-5): Eventually, the floodwaters begin to recede, and the ark
comes to rest on the mountains of Ararat. Noah sends out a series of birds to see if they can find dry land. First, a
raven is sent, and then a dove, which eventually returns with an olive leaf, indicating the presence of dry land.

Exiting the Ark (Genesis 8:15-22): When Noah is certain the Earth has dried, God instructs him to leave the ark
along with his family and the animals. Noah offers a sacrifice to God, and God makes a covenant with Noah and
all living creatures, promising never to send such a flood again. As a sign of this covenant, God sets the rainbow
in the sky.

The story of Noah's Ark and the Great Flood is often seen as a symbol of God's judgment and mercy. It illustrates
the consequences of human sinfulness and the importance of righteousness and obedience to God. Additionally,
the rainbow, mentioned at the end of the story, has become a symbol of hope and God's promise in many
cultures.

3. Exodus and the Parting of the Red Sea (Exodus 14:21-31) - This story recounts the Israelites' escape from
slavery in Egypt and the dramatic parting of the Red Sea to facilitate their safe passage.
- Background: The Israelites were enslaved in Egypt for many years under the oppressive rule of Pharaoh.
Moses, chosen by God as their leader, repeatedly asked Pharaoh to release the Israelites from slavery. After
several plagues struck Egypt, Pharaoh finally relented and allowed the Israelites to leave. However, soon
afterward, Pharaoh changed his mind and pursued the Israelites with his army, seeking to bring them back into
slavery or destroy them.

The Parting of the Red Sea: As the Israelites found themselves trapped between the pursuing Egyptian army
and the Red Sea, they were filled with fear and despair. They cried out to Moses, and Moses reassured them that
God would deliver them. In response to God's command, Moses raised his staff over the waters of the Red Sea.
In a miraculous and awe-inspiring event, the Red Sea was parted by a strong east wind sent by God, creating a
dry path through the sea. The Israelites, with the waters of the sea forming walls on either side, walked through
the midst of the sea on dry ground. It was a breathtaking demonstration of God's power and deliverance.

The Destruction of the Egyptian Army: As the Israelites safely crossed to the other side, Pharaoh's army
followed them into the parted sea. However, when the Egyptian chariots and soldiers were in the middle of the
sea, the waters returned to their normal state, drowning the entire Egyptian army.

The Israelites witnessed God's mighty intervention and power as they crossed the Red Sea safely while their
pursuers were defeated. This event marked their liberation from slavery and the beginning of their journey to the
Promised Land. It is a story of faith, deliverance, and the miraculous workings of God on behalf of His people,
illustrating that with trust and obedience, even seemingly insurmountable obstacles can be overcome through
divine intervention.

 New Testament:

1. The Birth of Jesus (Luke 2:1-20) - This story narrates the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem and the visit of the
shepherds, emphasizing the significance of Jesus' arrival as the Messiah.

- The story begins with a decree from Caesar Augustus that a census should be taken throughout the Roman
Empire. To comply with the decree, Joseph, a carpenter from Nazareth, and his betrothed wife, Mary, had to
travel to Bethlehem, the city of David, because they were both of the lineage of David. Mary was pregnant, and
the journey was challenging for her due to her condition.

Upon their arrival in Bethlehem, they found that the city was crowded with other travelers who had come for the
census, and there was no place for them to stay in the inns. In a humble stable, Mary gave birth to her firstborn
son and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths. They laid the baby in a manger because there was no crib available.
 That night, there were shepherds in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks. Suddenly, an angel of the
Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them. The angel announced the birth of the
Savior, saying, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the
town of David, a Savior has been born to you; He is the Messiah, the Lord."

A multitude of heavenly hosts then appeared, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest heaven, and
on earth peace to those on whom His favor rests."

The shepherds were filled with wonder and decided to go to Bethlehem to see the baby Jesus. They found Mary,
Joseph, and the newborn child, just as the angel had told them. Overwhelmed with joy, they shared the news of
what they had seen and heard with others.

This story of the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, surrounded by humble shepherds and announced by angels,
signifies the arrival of the long-awaited Messiah and the hope and salvation He brings to humanity. It is a story
of love, humility, and the fulfillment of God's promise to send a Savior into the world.

Beatitudes and teachings on various aspects of Christian living.

Beatitudes. He describes the qualities and attitudes that are blessed in the sight of God. These include humility,
meekness, righteousness, mercy, and peacemaking.

emphasizing sincerity, simplicity, and trust in God. He also advises against excessive concern for material wealth
and encourages laying up treasures in heaven.

The Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13): Jesus provides a model prayer, known as the Lord's Prayer, which
includes praise, requests for daily bread, forgiveness, and deliverance from evil.

Judging Others (Matthew 7:1-6): Jesus cautions against judging others hypocritically and advises self-
examination before attempting to correct others.

Ask, Seek, Knock (Matthew 7:7-12): Jesus encourages persistence in prayer and the practice of the Golden
Rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
 The Narrow and Wide Gates (Matthew 7:13-14): Jesus speaks of the narrow gate that leads to life and the
wide gate that leads to destruction, urging his followers to choose the path of righteousness.

A Wise Builder (Matthew 7:24-27): Jesus concludes the sermon with the parable of the wise and foolish
builders, emphasizing the importance of hearing and obeying his teachings.

The Sermon on the Mount is considered a cornerstone of Christian ethics, emphasizing love, humility, and
righteousness. It challenges believers to live a life that reflects the values and teachings of Jesus, seeking a
deeper relationship with God and a transformed character. It remains a profound and enduring guide for
Christian living and moral conduct.

3. The Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32) - Jesus tells the touching story of a wayward son who returns
home, and the forgiving love of his father.

- 11 Jesus continued: "There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give
me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them.

13 "Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered
his wealth in wild living. 14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and
he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his
fields to feed pigs. 16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him
anything.

17 "When he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have food to spare, and here I
am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against
heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired
servants.' 20 So he got up and went to his father.

"But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his
son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.

21 "The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be
called your son.'

22 "But the father said to his servants, 'Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and
sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine
was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate.

25 "Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 So
he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27 'Your brother has come,' he replied, 'and your
father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.'

28 "The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 29 But he
answered his father, 'Look! All these years I've been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you
never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours who has
squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!'

31 "'My son,' the father said, 'you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32 But we had to celebrate
and be glad because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.'"

This parable is often referred to as the Parable of the Prodigal Son, and it illustrates themes of forgiveness,
reconciliation, and the boundless love of God. It tells the story of a wayward son who squanders his inheritance
and returns home in repentance to find his father's loving and forgiving embrace.
