Here are the versions of lessons that I have used in the past.  The idea here is to make these living stories and not dry and dead lessons.  Therefore choose people who have a flair for story telling to present these stories.  As much as possible, get the story tellers close to the people and away from the lectern unless the story is being acted out in some way.

• The Story of Creation  (Genesis 1:1-2:3 RSV below or TEV)
• The Story of the Flood   (From Genesis 7 and 8 TLW)
• The Story of Abraham & Isaac  (Genesis 22:1-18 LB)
• The Story of the Exodus  (From Exodus 1-14 TLW below or TEV)
• The Story of Jonah  (From the book of Jonah TLW)
• The Story of the Three Young Men  (From Daniel 1-3 TLW)
