The purpose of this course is to equip the believer with a fundamental understanding of God's life principles as derived from the book of Genesis.

This course will teach a basic knowledge of the book of Genesis. Genesis is a book of beginnings. The book of Genesis lays the foundation for understanding the entire Bible. Special emphasis will be given to the days of creation, the origin of sin, and the early history of mankind. God's covenant relationship with the patriarchs from Abraham to Joseph will also be examined. The Genesis theme of " Blessing and Cursing" will be discussed. A deeper understanding of Genesis will provide a better understanding into the entire Bible. The Book of Genesis sets the stage for the entire plan of redemption and reveals Jesus as God's provision for eternal life.

I am certain you will not be disappointed.
