Genesis is a big book. But it’s also an essential book to know well. As the beginning of the Bible it sets the pattern of all that is to follow, ultimately on all that was to come in Christ.
We’re going to cover the whole book in 8 sermons on Sunday mornings, from now until Christmas. The plan sits like this:
| 8 Oct | Gen.1:1-4:26 | From Very Good to Very Broken |
| 15 Oct | Gen.5:1-11:26 | The Problem that can’t be Easily Fixed |
| 29 Oct | Gen. 11:27-19:38 | Greatest Expectations |
| 12 Nov | Gen.20:1-25:18 | When the Answer is on the Altar |
| 26 Nov | Gen.25:19-29:30 | Who’s Gonna Get the Inheritance? |
| 3 Dec | Gen.29:31-37:1 | Getting Back on Track |
| 17 Dec | Gen.37:2-41:57 | The Destined, Doomed Deliverer |
| 24 Dec | Gen.42:1-50:26 | Meant for Evil; Used for Good |
What’s more, the even bigger plan in this is to come back to Genesis every autumn for the subsequent four years! Stay tuned for that.
There are a lot of great gospel texts throughout the book of Romans. Many of them bring great clarity to the fundamental truths we believe about how we become one with the Father and how our lives are to be changed to live for him.
So, for Sunday evenings from now until the end of December, we’ll be picking up a lot of these verses, doing one verse at a time. Here’s the plan…
| 1 Oct | Romans 1:16 |
| 8 Oct | Romans 1:20 |
| 15 Oct | Romans 3:23 |
| 22 Oct | Romans 5:8 |
| 29 Oct | Romans 6:23 |
| 12 Nov | Romans 8:1 |
| 26 Nov | Romans 8:28 |
| 3 Dec | Romans 10:17 |
| 10 Dec | Romans 12:1 |
| 31 Dec | Romans 15:5 |
Because it’s Mission Sunday, don’t forget to bring your sandwiches with you on Sunday morning. After our morning service at 11am, we’ll have some lunch together before hearing from our guest for the day, Ian Parry, who will share about the work of the European Mission Fellowship. If you forget to bring some sandwiches, then don’t worry, some of us will be bringing extra to share.
