Gospel of Grace Fellowship Wednesday Nights

We begin this week's study in the book of Genesis in order to provide relevant background for understanding the incarnation of the Son and the inauguration of his public ministry

Jesus's early ministry is structured around the events of creation, the exodus, and God's dwelling place respectively in the Tabernacle and the Temple. Jesus, the eternal Word and Son of God made-flesh, who knows the hearts of men, is the true dwelling place of God

The biblical doctrine of the Trinity—namely, that the one, true, living, God exists eternally in three, distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The identity of who the Son is strikes at the very heart of the Gospel. We cannot know and worship the Father in spirit and truth unless we come to him through his eternal Son, the Son of God the Father, and by their eternal Spirit, the Spirit of God the Father and the Spirit of God the Son.

Believing in Jesus as a great teacher, prophet, or miracle-worker sent from God is wholly inadequate. In order to enter into the Kingdom of God, you must be born from above.

Words and deeds of Christ Jesus manifest his zeal for his Father's house.

Discussion of the incarnation of the Son of God; the hypostatic union; and his relationship to the Father and the Spirit.

Consider the literary genre of Genesis's creation account, and contrast aspects of historical narrative with biblical-Hebrew poetry.
