Join us for the greatest origin story of all time as we spend the next few months exploring the stunning beauty and devastating chaos in the first 11 chapters of Genesis. We will wrestle with eternal questions about the origin of the universe, of humanity, of good and evil, and of God.
The book of Genesis was written thousands of years ago by ancient people in the Middle East, and yet it still tells a story that resonates deeply in our souls. For at least the last 150 years, a debate has raged about whether scientific discoveries and these writings contradict each other or can be harmonized. We won’t shy away from that debate but we will also leave many questions unanswered because these writings weren’t intended to answer all the questions we are asking. But as we wrestle with the stories of Cain and Abel, Noah’s ark, the Nephilim, and the Tower of Babel, we will keep asking how all it leads us to Jesus.
This won’t be a history lesson; it will be a time to see God’s master plan taking shape from the very beginning.
If you haven’t already picked one up, stop by a main lobby to grab a study guide!
