Ready, Set, Grow, Evangel
Our Bible Reading Plan begins this Monday, March 2nd we are so excited to dig deeper into the Word of God as we start reading the Old Testament together. Over the course of one year, we will work our way from Genesis to Malachi. Let's dive whole-heartedly into God's word this year and allow the truth to transform us from the inside out! There is so much to unpack in these precious books of the bible, so it is sure to be a powerful time together in God's word.
Print the Reading plan for March & April, or keep it on your desktop or tablet. The plan runs from Monday to Friday, Saturdays are the best days to catch up on what you may have missed. Sundays are your Sabbath and we want to encourage you to attend church and take a day of rest!
It's time to go deeper,
Genesis
Summary, Message, and Purpose
As a book of beginnings, Genesis presents God’s creation of the universe, humanity’s fall into sin, and God’s promise to bring blessing and restoration to His good but corrupted world through the family of Abraham. The book of Genesis is the great book of beginnings in the Bible. True to the meaning of its Hebrew and Greek names, Genesis permits us to view the beginning of a multitude of realities that shape our daily existence: The creation of the universe and the planet earth, the origins of plant and animal life, and the origins of human beings, marriage, families, nations, industry, artistic expression, religious ritual, prophecy, sin, law, crime, conflict, punishment, and death.
God is the sovereign Lord and Creator of all things. Evil and sin did not originate with God. Sin entered the world at a specific place and time, and it resulted in death, both natural and spiritual.
Genesis is also a narrative of relationships.

Genre, Structure
Genesis is chiefly a historical narrative. From a narrative standpoint, God is the only true hero of the Bible, and the book of Genesis has the distinct privilege of introducing Him.
God is the first subject of a verb in the book and is mentioned more frequently than any other character in the Bible. The content of the first eleven chapters is distinct from the patriarchal stories in chapters 12-50. The primary literary device is the catchphrase: “These are the family records.”
