“In the Beginning” (Genesis, part 1) – a new series at Eastbrook Church

This coming Sunday at Eastbrook Church we begin a new preaching series entitled “In the Beginning,” which will be the first of a two-part series on Genesis, chapters 1-11. This series explores Genesis 1-3. Genesis is a book of beginnings, setting the stage for all that comes afterwards not only in that book but in the entire Bible. This series will explore some key ideas found in the first three chapters of the book of Genesis, including the creation of the world and humanity, as well as the Fall of humanity into sin.

Here are the weekly topics for this seven-part series, which leads up to the beginning of Lent:
