Genesis 1-11 - Mary Evans
In November, Mary Evans writes on Genesis 1-11, 'the scene setter for the Bible'. The orderly creation by God followed by the gradual disintegration caused by sin, climaxing in the Flood and Babel. This picture of humanity in a total mess makes sense of everything else that follows. God longs for human beings to relate to Him in love and obedience. Genesis 1-11 explains why and how sin makes this impossible.
John 1-11 - Jeff Lucas
In December, Jeff Lucas takes us through the first eleven chapters of John's Gospel, written that we might believe that 'Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God', with signs that point to who Jesus is, and why we should put our trust in Him. We meet the insistent Jesus who refuses to be passed off as a mere miracle worker or magnificent teacher, with the 'I am' statements. All of those titles explaining different aspects of what Jesus came to be and to do for humankind.These bimonthly notes are written by a variety of respected Bible teachers to help you study God's Word daily.
