Creation
Hole 1
Day 1: In the beginning, there was nothing, except GOD. God's Spirit moved through the void, then God spoke: LET THERE BE LIGHT!
Day 2: God spoke "Sky" He separated the water under sky from the water above the sky. He named sky the heavens.
Day 3: God spoke "Waters under the heavens, separate! and dry land appeared! He called the dry land earth, and the waters sea, then God spoke "earth green up" with all varieties of seed-bearing plants, and every sort of fruit-bearing trees.
Day 4: Then God fashioned the sun, the moon, and the stars to light the earth, and he set them in the heavens to mark the days, seasons, and years.
Day 5: God spoke "Let the waters be filled with living creatures" and the seas, and the rivers were filled with whales and fish. God spoke "Let the birds fly through the sky" God blessed the creatures of the sea and sky.
Day 6: God spoke "Let the earth be filled with animals" and God made all kinds: wild ones, tame ones, even those that crawl on the ground, and let each produce after it's own kind. Then God created the greatest of all creations, the first man Adam, the first woman Eve. He said let us make them in our image and likeness, they will have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, all beast, and over every living thing that moves on the earth. God looked over everything he had made, and it was very good!
Day 7: God was finished, He said it was good, and rested from his work.
the fall
Hole 2
Are you sure God said not to eat this fruit? Oh yes if we even touch it we'll die.
Oh you won't die it you touch it, and if you eat it you will be wise - just like God. Eve eats the forbidden fruit, and takes it to Adam, and he eats. The perfect unity between God and His beloved creation has been broken, sin enters the world when humanity believes the lie that they are not like God. Separation, brokenness, shame, guilt, and death follow. Adam and Eve struggle to create a new life out of their knowledge and shame. But already God has a plan to redeem mankind.
Points to Christ: God promises that one day He will send a savior
Noah
Hole 3
God see's that Noah and his family are righteous before Him. God tells Noah to build a great boat, God 'downloads' blueprints of the ark to Noah, and it takes Noah 120 years to finish. Then God fills the boat with animals of all kind. God judges evil, but saves Noah and his family, preserving his promise to rescue the world.
Points to Christ: Like the ark, Jesus becomes the only safe place of rescue from judgment.
Abraham
Hole 4
God calls Abraham to leave his home to a promised land that God shows him, where He will make him a great nation, and bless him. God promised Abraham and his wife Sarah a son, even though they are far beyond the age of childbearing, then miraculously Isaac was born to them. Several years later
God ask Abraham to sacrifice Isaac as a burnt offering, Abraham obeys God, Isaac observes and says, my father! and he said here am I my son, we have fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for the burnt offering? Abraham says my son
"God will provide for himself the lamb for the burnt offering" Abraham built an alter, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him upon the alter upon the wood. And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. and at the last moment the Angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, Abraham, Abraham, do not lay your hand on the lad or do anything to him; for now l know that you fear and revere God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me. And God provides a ram caught in a thicket for the burnt offering. God promises Abraham that through his family,
Points to Christ: Jesus is the promised offspring, sacrifice and offering, through whom blessings come to the whole world.
the fall
Hole 5
God gave Joseph several dreams when he was a young boy, in one of those dreams he saw his eleven brothers bowing down before him, the brothers hated him because of his dreams, and were very jealous of him because he was there father's favored son. The brothers wanted to kill Joseph, but instead trafficked Joseph into slavery, but God allowed Joseph to become a ruler of Egypt.
God knew a famine was coming as He sent Joseph to prepare the way for the family to survive.
Points to Christ: Jehovah-Jireh - God of prevision and provision
"Before you call, I will answer" Isaiah 65:24
exodus
Hole 6
After 400 years of slavery in Egypt, Moses is sent by God to free the Israelite people from the bondage of Pharaoh the king of Egypt. As Pharaoh finally releases them, much to their shock they were trapped on the shores of the Red Sea and Pharaoh's army approaching, God told Moses to lift up his staff, and the winds caused the sea to open, and they crossed on dry land. One of the many great miracles they experienced as God rescues His people from slavery in Egypt and leads them toward freedom.
Points to Christ:
Jesus is the greater deliverer who frees people from slavery to sin to freedom through His sacrifice.
10 Commandments
Hole 7

This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand. God raises up David and promises that a forever King will come from his family line.
Points to Christ: Jesus is the promised King - humble, faithful, and eternal.
Jonah
Hole 9
Jonah is God's prophet to Israel, God speaks to Jonah "Get up, go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it. I see the evil things they do"

the birth of jesus
Hole 10
In the small town of Bethlehem, Mary held her baby boy, Jesus. He was the Savior God had promised long ago. Joseph stayed close, and soon visitors came. Out in the fields, shepherds saw bright angels saying, “Glory to God!” They hurried to find Jesus lying in a manger. Later, wise men from far away followed a special star until it led them to Jesus. They worshiped Him and gave gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. This tiny baby was the beginning of God’s plan to bring peace, forgiveness, and hope to the world.
Miracles
Hole 11
Jesus was teaching in a packed house. Four friends arrived carrying a man who couldn’t walk. They believed Jesus could help him. When they couldn’t get through the crowd, they climbed onto the roof, made a hole, and lowered their friend right in front of Jesus. Jesus looked at him kindly and said, “Your sins are forgiven.” Then He said, “Stand up and walk.” Right away, the man’s legs became strong. He stood, walked, and praised God while everyone watched in amazement. Jesus showed He can heal bodies and hearts.
Redemptive Meaning: Jesus has the power to make broken things whole again.
Parable of the Sower
Hole 12
Jesus told a story about a farmer planting seeds. Some seeds fell on a hard path and birds ate them. That’s like a heart that won’t listen to God. Some seeds fell on rocky ground. They grew fast but dried up because they had no roots. That’s like someone who quits when life gets hard. Some seeds fell among thorns that choked the plants. That’s like a heart filled with worries and selfish choices. But some seeds fell on good soil and grew a big harvest. That’s like a person who hears God’s Word and obeys it.
Redemptive Meaning: Jesus’ offer of salvation is for everyone, but it must be received.
Jesus Loves the Unlikely
Hole 13
Jesus loved being around kids. He hugged them, talked with them, and made them feel welcome. When His disciples tried to keep the children away, Jesus told them to let the kids come to Him. Jesus also cared for people who were sick, blind, hurting, or left out. He showed kindness to people who had done wrong things and even to those who broke the law. He comforted mothers who were sad and people who felt alone. Jesus welcomes everyone to come to Him and be saved.
Redemptive Meaning: Salvation is a gift, not something earned.
The 5000 Fed
Hole 14
One day, more than 5,000 people were listening to Jesus. Only one boy had food — five small loaves of bread and two fish. He gave them to Jesus, and Jesus made the food multiply until everyone ate and there were twelve baskets left over. Another time, more than 4,000 people were hungry. The disciples had seven loaves of bread and a few fish. Jesus multiplied that food too, and everyone was satisfied. Jesus was concerned about those around Him who were hungry. Jesus provided food for them, showing God’s generous heart.
Redemptive Meaning: Jesus is enough, and His kingdom is open to everyone.
the cross of jesus
Hole 15
Jesus didn’t come just to be a baby or a good teacher. He came to save sinners — people who have broken God’s rules. Jesus never sinned. He was perfect. Because He loves us, Jesus took our place. He allowed Himself to be put on a cross, even though He had done nothing wrong. When He died, He took the punishment we deserved so we could be forgiven. Anyone who trusts in Jesus can be saved and belong to God forever.
Redemptive Meaning: On the cross, Jesus pays the price for sin and opens the way back to God.
the empty tomb
Hole 16
The tomb is empty — Jesus is alive! He rose from the dead just like He said He would. He defeated sin, death, and the devil forever. Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day. After He came back to life, He appeared to Peter, the disciples, and more than 500 people at once. The same power that raised Jesus is the power God uses to save us, forgive us, and help us live for Him every day.
Redemptive Meaning: Sin and death are defeated; new life is now possible.
