Studies in Genesis

The book of Genesis is the first book of the Bible, and the foundation of God’s story with humanity. In its pages, we encounter creation, the fall, God’s promises, and the beginnings of His plan of redemption. This course is designed for beginners who may be new to studying the Bible in depth, offering a clear, engaging, and faith-building exploration of Genesis.

Through guided lessons, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of God’s character, the origins of humanity, and the relevance of Genesis for your life today. Whether you are brand new to Bible study or simply seeking a fresh start, this course will help you see Genesis not just as ancient history, but as a living word that speaks truth and hope into the present.

  • Are curious about the “big picture” of the Bible and how it all begins.

You will only be able to do one lesson per day, and the reason for this is that we would like you to approach this study with the mindset to encounter Jesus in your studies and meditate on the Word, not just get a lot of head knowledge. No prior formal training in theology is required, just a Bible, a heart to learn, and a desire to meet Jesus in His Word.
