Genesis

In the fifth and final part of our Genesis plan, we'll see the story of Joseph and his family come full circle! Read about the amazing saga of Joseph's reunion with his brothers and his father and Jacob's final blessings over his sons. You'll also get to see some beautiful parallels to the gospel of Jesus in these chapters!


Origins: The Dreamers (Genesis 42–50)

Have you ever wanted to grow in your relationship with God, better understand the Bible, and learn how to faithfully follow Jesus in our world today? If so, this Plan is for you! With the biblical story as our guide, we will discover truths and develop skills to help us become fully devoted followers of Christ. This is Part 3 of the 9-part Fully Devoted journey.

Fully Devoted: The Fall

This plan was inspired by a song entitled ‘The Dove’. It considers Scriptures from across the Bible, touching on Eden, Noah, Jesus and Pentecost. 

As we spend some days together considering the dove thematically, this plan gives some theology around the Trinity, especially considering the Creative work of the Holy Spirit, and wrestles with themes of Judgement, New Creation, sin, and grace. 

As we consider Pentecost, this plan gives a more robust understanding around the power and wonder of the creative work of the Spirit.

If you're up for some meat, let's go.

The Dove

GLEANINGS is a one-year devotional through the Bible. It contains answers to key issues, application questions and quotes to think and apply, and a prayer of commitment at the end. The word Genesis means “beginning” and this book records the beginning of everything—the beginning of creation, man, sin, family, culture, and industry—except it does not deal with the beginning of God, because God has no beginning.


GLEANINGS - Genesis

We all experience highs and lows in life. Sometimes our circumstances are hard to understand, and it feels impossible to see through to the other side. But Jesus calls us to live a faithful life, even when it isn't easy. Joseph's story, as told in the Book of Genesis, holds many lessons that can help us make sense of where we are and learn to trust God in the ups and downs. 

One Thing Leads to Another

In this 5-day plan, civil rights legend Dr. John M. Perkins explores the concept of race in the Scripture.  From the stories of the Bible and his own life, he paints a beautiful portrait of the one human race that displays diversity while revealing ways that God's people have gone astray in making ethnic distinctions a statement on the individual's worth before God. 

One Race, One Blood

The Creation story is an incredible account of God speaking everything into existence. We can look at the oceans or the animals and take them at face value, or we can take joy in the invitations behind them – to drink of the Water that will never run dry, or to take heart, we are more valued than the birds!

Creation

In part two of our Genesis plan, we'll begin to see God’s plan of redemption take shape through God’s promise to Abraham and the establishment of his family. Experience the amazing story of the man called “friend of God” as we explore the call of God on Abraham’s life, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, the birth of his sons, and the binding of Isaac. 

Origins: The Promise (Genesis 12–25)

The public reading of Scripture is a timeless practice. It helps us remember who God is, who we are, and who we are called to be. We encourage you to gather in community, for 20-30 minute sessions, and listen to the Bible regularly as the early church did. In 13 sessions, you will listen to all of Genesis and be shown the Gospel in each section through short audio devotionals.
