Genesis Series

The story of Joseph. It’s perhaps the most famous story in the Bible. In the story of Joseph we see the beginnings of God’s plan for the redemption of Israel and the rest of the world. Joseph is an archetype or foreshadowing of Jesus Christ. Joseph saved his family, Egypt and the surrounding land from a devastating famine. This foreshadows Christ coming first to save Israel, then the surrounding gentiles, then the entire world. The parallels are quite amazing! Listen and learn more!

The biblical patriarchs. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. In Genesis, God establishes the same covenant with all three of these pivotal characters in Genesis. God promised to make Abraham into a great nation and to give him the land of Canaan. The crazy thing is, at the time, Abraham and his wife were well beyond child bearing years. What is impossible for man is indeed possible for God! Today the Israelite people are indeed a great nation. God’s promises never fall. This pattern is repeated again for Isaac and Jacob. Learn the story of the biblical patriarchs and rest assured that God’s promises always come true.

Genesis forms the foundation of the rest of the Bible. It shapes our understanding of the Gospel and answers life’s hardest questions. How did we get here? God created us. We didn’t arrive here by chance. Why do bad things happen? Man’s rebellion against God introduced sin into the world. Is God perfect and just? God judged the world with a global flood, saving Noah and his family. God later sent Jesus Christ to save the world from sin. There are many more questions Genesis answers.
