Have you ever started reading the Bible from the beginning, only to feel a little lost? Maybe you’ve picked up Genesis before, excited to dig into God’s Word, but quickly found yourself overwhelmed, wondering how it all connects to your life today.
You’re not alone.
Genesis is one of the most well-known books of the Bible, but it’s also one that many struggle to understand. It’s filled with familiar stories—creation, Adam and Eve, Noah’s Ark—but there’s so much more beneath the surface. And when we take the time to slow down, we start to see that this isn’t just the beginning of the Bible—it’s the beginning of our story, too.
Why Genesis Still Matters Today
Genesis isn’t just about how the world began—it’s about why it began. It reveals a God who creates with purpose, brings order to chaos, and forms humanity out of love.
Maybe your life feels a little chaotic right now. Maybe you’re wrestling with your purpose, wondering if God has a plan for you. Genesis speaks into those moments, reminding us that the same God who spoke light into darkness is the God who speaks life into us today.
Throughout this study, we’ll look at the major themes of Genesis—creation, purpose, identity, and God’s faithfulness—and how they apply to our everyday lives. Because while these words were written thousands of years ago, they’re still deeply relevant today.
How We’re Studying Genesis
This isn’t just another Bible reading plan where we rush through a chapter a day. Instead, we’re taking our time, breaking it down into manageable pieces, and exploring both the historical and spiritual significance of what we’re reading.
Each episode of the Hearing Jesus Podcast will help you:
• Understand the cultural and historical context of Genesis
• See how God’s character and purpose are revealed from the very beginning
• Apply these truths to your daily life and faith journey
We’ll unpack what these passages meant to the original audience and why that matters for us today. When we understand Genesis, we see how the entire Bible is telling one big, interconnected story—one that ultimately leads to Jesus.
