Genesis 1 and 2: God, a good world and people made in His image.

Genesis opens with God, a good world and people made in His image to live in it. Walk through Genesis 1 and 2, see how the New Testament names the Son as the one through whom the world was made, and see how the Bible’s last chapters look back to its first.

In the Beginning: What We Were Made For

Genesis 3: why the story turned, and how mercy ran through the judgment.

Genesis 3 is where the story you know turns. Read how God’s image-bearers rejected His word, what it cost them and the world, how mercy ran through the judgment, and why Paul sets Jesus beside Adam as the one obedient man who brings life.

The Fall

Genesis 6 to 9: what God saw, why He kept Noah, and what He promised.

Most of us know the flood as the ark and the animals, or as a story of destruction. Read Genesis 6 to 9 whole: why God judged a world filled with evil and violence, how He kept Noah's family and the living creatures, the covenant He made with them and the earth, and why the human heart still needed a redemption the flood did not bring.

The Flood: More than Destruction

God's promise to bless every nation, kept through barrenness and a long wait.

Many people know Abraham as the man who was asked to give up his son, or as a hero of faith. Read Genesis 12 and 21 to 22 whole: God's call and promise to bless all the peoples on earth, how He kept it through barrenness, failure and a long wait, the son He gave and kept alive, the oath He swore by Himself, and how the New Testament says the promise comes home in Jesus.

Abraham: A Promise for Every Nation

Exodus 14 and 15: how the LORD fought, saved and was sung as King.

Many of us know the Red Sea as a parting of the waters, or as a promise that God will open every obstacle. Read Exodus 14 and 15 whole: why the LORD led Israel to the sea, how He fought and saved, the song that names Him warrior, redeemer and King, the test that came within three days, and how later Scripture takes up that rescue.

The Red Sea: The LORD Saves and Reigns

Many of us know David and Goliath as a story about courage against impossible odds. Read 1 Samuel 17 whole: a frightened army, a champion who defies the living God, the shepherd the LORD had just anointed, and a victory His people did not win; then see how the New Testament names Jesus as the heir of the promise made to David.

David and Goliath: The Battle Is the LORD’s

You may know Jonah as the man swallowed by a great fish. Read the whole book as one story: a prophet who runs from the LORD, sailors and a city that turn to God, and a closing question the book leaves unanswered; then hear Jesus take the sign of Jonah as His own.

Jonah: Mercy Even for Nineveh

You may know Daniel as the man in the lions' den. Read Daniel 6 as one story: a faithful exile, a king who cannot undo his own law, and a decree that confesses a kingdom that will never be destroyed; then see in Daniel 7 who receives that kingdom, and hear Jesus take up that scene at His trial.
