Summary: God's story has characters we can see, and characters that we cannot see. It has our great loving, powerful God, and it has an adversary. It has angels and fallen angels. It has things going on that we can see, and that we cannot  see. But it is all in the hands of a God that is love. In this series, kids will learn about each of these characters through the lens of a loving God.
