How It All Began: Genesis 1-11

Not how, but Who—Not when, but why! The rest of the Bible cannot be understood without these opening chapters. God created a good world, a stage for fellowship with His highest creation, mankind. But mankind rebelled. This is not the world that God created it to be! He has committed Himself to restore it—(1) Messiah will come (cf. 3:15); (2) God calls one to call all (cf. 12:1-3); (3) God's grace is seen in: (a) promises; (b) covenants; (c) sacrifice and (d) worship.
