THE FIRST BOOK OF THE BIBLE
Genesis means “beginnings”. It is the name of the first book of the Bible. Within this book the origins of mankind are described and the reason for the great problem that we all face - the problem of mortality - is explained. Running through the book is a message of hope and salvation from this problem. These are themes which are developed throughout the rest of the Bible.
Although an ancient book, its contents are still relevant today, helping us to live meaningful lives filled with an appreciation of God.
If you would like to deepen your understanding of the Bible then this series of seminars is for you. The aim is to equip you with the skills to develop a fresh appreciation of the scriptures - and in particualar help you to get to grips with Genesis.
Eight concise and informative sessions are planned to be delivered in a friendly and comfortable environment via Zoom or in person at Mt Zion Christadelphian Hall in Mumbles. We welcome you to join us.
