The story of Ruth shows us that even in a corrupt culture, God deeply cares about his people and works to redeem them by his grace.
As Genesis continues, sin expands. It can seem like creation is getting out of hand, and God is absent. However, Genesis reveals that God does not leave his people... God graciously continues to draw his people back to himself, but the question begins to arise, "how will we live with our God?" ... Even as the story of the Exodus come and as his people leave Egypt, the people of God are left asking, “how can we know this God? How can we live with him?” and God answers in Exodus 19...
After Genesis 3, it seems like the story of the Bible gets dark. Sin runs deeper and deeper... to the point of God being grieved of making mankind. From murder to pride, the heart of man is inherently sinful, but God doesn't abandon mankind. Instead, the reader can see from Genesis 4-17, God begins to call a people to graciously save and establish a covenant of peace that will restore his people to himself... but how?
There's something seriously wrong with our world and us... Things aren't as they were created to be... but what's wrong with it? In Genesis 3, Moses helps us understand where things all went wrong... Deception led to disobedience against the good God and sin corrupted all of creation including people... but Moses shows us that God does not leave us hopeless...
In Genesis 1:26-28, the creation narrative breaks its rhythm by describing people as the imago Dei... the image of God. People are uniquely highlighted in this text and in Genesis 2... but why? These texts show us that we are here to be God's people meant to live for God's glory...
The Bible begins in Genesis 1 with a poetic creation narrative... but it also introduces us to the focus of the book and history in general... God! Who is God and what do we learn about him in Genesis 1?
How does the Bible begin? How does it end? Why does it matter? ... From its opening scene to the final word and every breath of life between, the Bible is a story of how all of creation will live in God's glory... Join us as we trace the story of Scripture this year!
