https://www.btstories.com/creation/ In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was lifeless, empty, and dark. Then the Spirit of God moved across the vast emptiness. He said, “Let there be light.” Suddenly light shone around the entire sphere of the earth! God looked at the light, and saw that it was good.
https://www.btstories.com/adam-and-eve/ Imagine the earth when it was new—before the plants had come up. In those days, God hadn’t yet allowed it to rain on the earth, but caused a mist to come each day to water the land. During this time, God took some soil and shaped the first man. He breathed into his nostrils, and Adam was alive.
https://www.btstories.com/the-fall/ God created Adam and Eve and provided all they needed in the Garden of Eden. Like the animals, they had no need of clothes, yet they were not ashamed. The snake was the cleverest of all the animals. One day he said to Eve, “Is it true God won’t let you eat from all the trees in the garden?”
https://www.btstories.com/cain-and-abel/ Adam and Eve had a son and named him Cain. In time they had another son named Abel.Abel became a herdsman—working with animals. Cain became a farmer, tilling the soil. One day, when it was time to bring a sacrifice to the Lord, Cain decided to bring fruits and vegetables, instead of a lamb. Abel also brought an offering, but it was the best lamb from his flock. The Lord was pleased with Abel’s offering, but he wasn’t happy with Cain’s.
https://www.btstories.com/the-flood/ After people disobeyed God and went into sin, they became extremely wicked. All of their thoughts and actions were evil. God knew he had to destroy the people he created.
https://www.btstories.com/after-the-flood/ After the Flood, Noah planted a vineyard. In time he drank some of the wine from his harvest and got drunk. He went to his tent and fell asleep on the floor without any clothes on. His youngest son saw his father lying there, and went and told his brothers what he had seen. His brothers draped a coat between them and walked backwards into the tent, draping the coat over their father.When Noah woke up, he learned what had happened. So he put a curse on the family of his youngest son, and blessed the families of the other two.
https://www.btstories.com/call-of-abraham/ There was a man named Terah who lived in a place called Ur. He had three sons, and one of them was Abram. Now Abram was married to his half-sister Sarai, but they had no children. Terah took Abram, Sarai, and his grandson Lot (who was an orphan) and moved north to a place called Haran. They stayed there until Terah died.
https://www.btstories.com/melchizedek/ Both Abram and Lot were prosperous. Soon their herdsmen started arguing over grazing rights. Abram said, “We shouldn’t be fighting. After all, we’re family. There is plenty of land here. You choose. You go one way and I’ll go the other.” Lot knew which direction he wanted to go. The Jordan valley had plenty of water, and it reminded him of Egypt. He’d often say to himself, “It’s like the Lord’s garden.” So he chose the entire Jordan Valley. He set up his tent near Sodom, even though the men there were extremely wicked.
https://www.btstories.com/the-god-who-sees-me/ After Abram had lived in Canaan for ten years, Sarai became concerned that she hadn’t yet had a child like the Lord promised. She said to her husband, “I have a solution to this problem. Go to bed with my slave Hagar. When she delivers a child, it’ll be the same as if I had the child. Abram agreed and did as she said. But as soon as Hagar became pregnant, she started acting like she was better than Sarai. This made Sarai angry. She said to Abram. “You’re the one who has caused all my problems! You got my slave pregnant, and now she thinks she’s better than me.
https://www.btstories.com/birth-of-isaac/ When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord said to him, “You’ll be the father of many nations and some of your descendants will be kings! Therefore I’m changing your name to Abraham, which means the ‘father of many nations’. I will be with you and I will give this land to you and your descendants. As a sign of these promises, you are to circumcise every male among you.” Then the Lord said to him, “From now on, your wife will be called Sarah. I will bless her, and she’ll bear you a son.”
