Synopsis
Part 1:
Genesis 1 - 11
We are all born into a world that is clearly broken and yet also full of relics of God's original goodness. The former dominates our experiences of life, often shaping the very way we view it; while the latter hints of a better world prior to ours, giving us hope that we may one day return to it. This is our common human experience. Genesis 1-11 describes the common heritage we all share before being dispersed into different civilisations. But beneath the historical records lies its purpose to explain the events in our past that led to “the Need for the Gospel”.
Part 2:
Genesis 12 - 50
Israel has often been known as God’s chosen nation. However, it is not entirely correct to say that God had chosen Israel, as much as it is that God chose Abraham and birthed the nation of Israel out of him. But the more important questions are: why and how did God do so? Genesis 12-50 gives us a glimpse of the humble beginning of God’s grand redemptive plan to resolve the problem of human rebellion without having to destroy all life. Beneath stories surrounding four generations of this dysfunctional family lies God’s providence to bring about salvation through this “kernel of wheat” that falls and dies, giving us “the Dawn of the Gospel”.
