Course Description
In the Beginning / Genesis Chapters 1–22: Course 1
Genesis is an ancient book. But it speaks to some of the deepest questions we face today. Genesis reveals that there is a God who created our beautiful world. And He gave people a noble calling. It explains that our world has been fractured by human rebellion against God. It also presents the beginnings of His plan to fix what was broken. God has lovingly created each of us to join in this plan to restore His beautiful world, and we will find our deepest fulfillment by partaking in His great story.
This is the first course of a four-course series exploring the first part of the book of Genesis.
