If you’ve ever tuned in to a movie when it was half over, or started watching a TV series toward the end of a season, you know how confusing it can be: you watch a scene that you can tell is important, but you don’t understand why it matters. It’s hard to see the significance of plot twists when you don’t know the plot, or character development when you’re not familiar with the characters. Reading the Bible can be a lot like that: the significance of each part of the Bible is hard to see apart from a clear view of its overall storyline. Thankfully, all the main elements of the Bible’s story are introduced in its earlies chapters, and getting to know these chapters will help us understand everything that follows them. Join us as we go back to Genesis 1-11 this Fall at Harvest.

Episode 43 - Genesis 1 Views
What are the various views on how God created the world?

In Genesis 1 Moses describes God creating the world to be His kingdom, for His image-bearers to co-rule and care for this world together and enter His rest. How does that affect how we interpret Genesis 1 and the various views about how God created the world? Pastors Matt and Chris discuss this on this episode.
