Beginnings:The Genesis Connection

Genesis, the first book of the Bible, introduces many of the important themes of salvation history that come into play in the later pages of scripture.  Themes such as creation, evil, humanity, temptation, sin, judgment, grace, and salvation are all a part of the Genesis account.  These important topics set the stage for the coming of Jesus Christ as recorded in the New Testament.  In 2010 Crossroads will be taking an in-depth look at Genesis and making appropriate connections to other parts of the Bible.  This will prove to be a challenging and enlightening walk through God’s Word through the lens of Genesis.  Don’t miss Beginnings:The Genesis Connection starting January 3!
