In The Beginning: A Study on Genesis 1-11

Sermon Series Guidebook

From the grandeur of our creation to the tragedy of our fall, Genesis 1-11 reveals our beginnings for the sake of explaining our present—who we are, why we exist, why life is the way it is—, not merely to satisfy curiosity, but to awaken us to the voice of our Maker, who from time immemorial calls us His own. The events of the garden, Cain’s slaying of Abel, the flood, and Babel’s tower, are true in the deepest sense. They not only happened, but are patterns that reply every day and in every heart; God’s people take rather than trust, turn inward rather than upward. Mercifully, these early chapters of the Bible also introduce us to the antidote to our sin, which is the grace of God. As he relied on God for his beginning, so too does man rely on God for his redeeming—Genesis 1-11, therefore, ultimately points us to the Last Adam, Jesus Christ.

We’ve designed a guidebook to help us go deeper during the series. It follows the sermon each week and includes questions, guides for prayer, ways to respond, and resources to go deeper. Hardcopies of the guidebook will be available at all of our services beginning on Sunday, 1/30, so be sure to pick one up while supplies last. 

We hope you’ll use the guide alongside a friend, with your family, or in your small group, to grow as a disciple of Jesus this fall—or perhaps to answer His call for the first time!
