            As Christians reading Genesis, we wonder how this ancient book relates to the New Testament and to our Christian faith as a whole.  Especially, you and I ask what Genesis says to us personally.  This is a proper question because the Bible is never simply a source of detached knowledge; it is a call to a new, real, and profound way of life, a life that recognizes that its goal is in its relationship with God.  As such, the Bible speaks to us personally.  It finds its way into the soul and marrow of our being.  No book does this more incisively than the Book of Genesis.

            Join us as we start “in the beginning” and explore the heart of life and how it relates to our faith today.
