Layout of bible study
Following the creation accounts we will trace the two paths that Genesis outlines, covering the stories of Cain & Abel, The Flood, the Tower of Babel, Abraham, Isaac, and God’s covenants to humanity.
We will look at what life living in and outside of the blessing of God looks like and begin to unpack God’s plan for redemption.

God is attempting to fill the earth and have man carry out his mission - be fruitful and multiply, subdue the earth, and fulfill it.
Babel is attempting to have Man focus on his own achievements, consolidation, and kingdom.
Do we serve the kingdom of God or the kingdom of Man?
