The Consequence of Sin
The Consequence of Sin – Genesis chapter 3 verses 14 to 19 So the LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, “Cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals!

Paradise Lost
Paradise Lost – Genesis chapter 3 verses 1 to 13 The Temptation Here in Genesis we see real history where things fall apart. 3 Now the snake was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, ‘Did God really say, “You must not eat from any tree in the garden”?’ 2 The woman said to the snake, ‘We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but God did say, “You…
Prelude to the Fall
Prelude to the Fall – Genesis chapter 2, verses 8 to 17 9 The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground – trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food.

A Biblical View of Marriage
A Biblical View of Marriage – Genesis chapter 2, verses 18 to 25 Marriage was designed as a good gift from God, yet our brokenness so often makes for trouble, fights, disagreements and tension. Women were created from the rib of man to be beside him, not from his head to top him, nor from his feet to be trampled by him, but from under his arm to be protected by him, near to his heart to be loved by…

A Biblical View of Man
A Biblical View of Man – Genesis chapter 2, verses 4 to 7 Where do we find purpose and identity? Without the worldview of the Bible many no longer have a solid place to find it. All that is left is subjective, saying “What, is the chief purpose of Man? To live out your truth and enjoy life till you die, for there is nothing after.” Be yourself! 4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they…
The Goal of Creation
The Goal of Creation – Genesis chapter 2, verses 1 to 3 1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. 2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.

The Pinnacle of Creation
The Pinnacle of Creation – Genesis chapter 1, verses 24 to 31 “Being human” – what does it mean? The greatest wonder in the world, striding across it like a god? Or just a vanishing footnote on the record of history? So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:27 Day 6 – Similar but different: the pattern is the same – the method (“God said”), the…
The Handiwork of God
The Handiwork of God – Genesis chapter 1 verses 6 to 32 2 World Views Either “There is No God”, or “The God Who is There”.

Let There Be Light
Let There Be Light – Genesis chapter 1 verses 2 to 5 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 3 And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light ‘day’, and the darkness he called ‘night’. And there was evening, and there…
In the Beginning – Kids’ Spot
In the Beginning – Kids’ Spot. Genesis chapter 1 verses 1 and 2 In the beginning – GOD created the sky and the Earth. The Earth was smooth and round like a ball of play-dough. It was quiet, and asleep, wrapped in darkness like a thick, woolly blanket on a shivery cold night. All the Angels looking on held their breath – “When would the LORD God wake up the sleeping Earth?” Then at last God spoke, and all the…
