THIS FALL we are going to study side-by-side with the current sermon series – Genesis. While we have studied Genesis in the past as a WM, it was a narrow focus of the text verse-by-verse, helping us grow in interpretation, comprehension and application. This gave us a strong foundation to cover many other books shaping our understanding of covenant.

Now, we turn to a broader view of the book of Genesis as we seek to See Jesus in the Old Testament. Nancy Guthrie is a gifted bible teacher that has dedicated her life to the study of God’s Word and sharing her passion for bible study with others.

This book with will work through — The Promised One — provides a fresh look at the book of Genesis, leading us in discovering how its stories, symbols, people, and promises point to Christ.  We will see Christ as the agent of creation, the offspring who will crush the head of the serpent, the ark of salvation, the source of the righteousness credited to Abraham, the substitutionary sacrifice provided by God, the Savior to whom the whole world must come for life, and much more.

Each weekly lesson includes questions for personal study, a contemporary teaching chapter that emphasizes how the passage fits into the bigger story of redemptive history, a brief section on how the passage uniquely points to what is yet to come at the consummation of Christ’s kingdom, and a leader’s guide for group discussion. A ten-session DVD companion set is also available but not necessary.
