This week, we reflected on the opening of Genesis and the honesty of Scripture about the human condition. We were created very good, made in God’s image, and entrusted with a holy calling. Yet we also saw how humanity chose independence over trust, turning that gift into rebellion. Genesis tells this story plainly, not to shame us, but to reveal our need for mercy.
In Chapter 2, we will see how God responds. Rather than abandoning His purpose, He begins to build a people, a nation through whom He will bring blessing and restoration to the world. As we move forward, we will explore how God works patiently through imperfect people to carry His promises and move His story toward redemption.
