Genesis

Genesis opens the Bible with the origin of everything — the world, humanity, sin, and God's plan to bless. From the cosmic sweep of creation and fall (chapters 1-11) the story narrows to a single family (12-50): Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph, through whom God promises to bless all the nations of the earth. It is not a list of doctrines but a narrative that reveals God's character and human need. Nearly every major theme of Scripture begins here — creation, covenant, promise, faith, blessing, judgment, and providence — and runs forward to its fulfillment in Christ. Genesis answers humanity's deepest questions: Where did the world come from? Why is it broken? And what is God doing to put it right? The answer is a sovereign, good Creator who pursues a wayward world with covenant grace.
