The book of Genesis is more than just the first book of the Bible—it is the foundation upon which the entire biblical narrative is built. Its name, derived from the Greek word genesis, means "origin" or "beginning," and fittingly, it opens with the majestic account of creation. But Genesis is not merely a story of how the world began; it is a profound exploration of who God is, who we are, and how our relationship with the divine and with one another has unfolded through time.
In its pages, we encounter the sweeping drama of creation, the tragedy of the fall, the devastation of the flood, and the promise of redemption through a chosen family. From Adam and Eve to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph, Genesis introduces us to flawed yet faithful individuals whose lives reveal God's character, covenant, and purposes.
This series invites us to journey through Genesis not just as ancient history, but as a living narrative that speaks to our deepest questions: Where did we come from? Why is the world broken? What is God's plan for humanity? And how can we walk in faith today?
Whether you're new to the Bible or returning with fresh eyes, Genesis offers a rich tapestry of stories that lay the groundwork for understanding the rest of Scripture—and for understanding ourselves.
