This Bible study delves into the creation account, investigates the consequences of the fall on humankind, and examines the early phases of the redemption story. This study connects biblical themes to relevant situations today while taking a deeper dive into the character and faith of the Jewish and Christian patriarchs and matriarchs. The Bible doesn't sugarcoat their foibles and follies; in fact, it exposes them so that we can see the beauty of God's grace revealed throughout history. We get to know the faith and failures or Abraham and Sarah; Isaac and Rebekah; Jacob (Israel), Rachel, and Leah; and the twelve tribal leaders of Israel. Genesis exposes the crucial ways God guided our ancestor as the gospel story began to unfold.
