Genesis

The first book of the Bible reveals our shared story as a single race created in God’s image.

We look forward to exploring this book of “Beginnings” together, where we witness the wonder of God creating the universe, the tragedy of humanity’s fall into sin and God’s gracious redemption.

Study Overview

Bible Study Fellowship walks through each book chapter by chapter, exploring God’s Word in context. The first 11 chapters of Genesis concern the creation and expansion of the entire human race. The final 39 chapters focus on the family of Abraham (the patriarch of Judaism, Christianity and Islam), and three of his descendants – Isaac, Jacob and Joseph.

Through Abraham and his descendants, the redemption of the world by Jesus Christ and the restoration of all creation will be accomplished.
