See Genesis with Fresh Eyes

As I shared on Sunday at Pleasant View, the way you read a story makes all the difference. I challenged our church to look at Genesis with fresh eyes this week. Without importing other stories and viewpoints into this book, try a full reading of this book about our beginnings. What does it tell us about God? What does it tell us about humanity? What surprises do you find? What did you expect to find in the story that is not there?

This story of our beginnings sets the stage for the whole biblical narrative. It is actually the biblical narrative in miniature form.

If you discover new things and would like to discuss, please comment below. What insights and questions do you come across as you read Genesis?
