About Our Course, Genesis Unit 1

Posted by: Richard Stevens on Jan 23, 2012

Our upcoming course, The Book of Genesis – Unit 1 is a twelve-week in-depth study of the first 11 chapters of Genesis taught by Dr. Chuck Missler. We will begin meeting at 6:30pm on Tuesday, February 21st at Grace Chapel in the Junior High room, and will end on May 8th.

This foundational unit covers Genesis Chapters 1 through 11, and thus includes the Creation, the Fall of Man, the Flood of Noah, and the Tower of Babel, etc. It devotes entire sessions on each of the Days of Creation, and explores recent perspectives from Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, quantum physics, and other scientific advances. The more one understands the current frontiers of science, the more one is comfortable with the way Genesis One reads.

This verse-by-verse exposition of the Biblical text continues to emphasize the integrity of design of the entire Bible and its extraterrestrial origin, and explores the many explicit and implicit allusions to the Messiah of Israel found in the Torah, including some of the messages hidden beneath the direct text itself.

Our weekly procedure will involve:

  • watching the course curriculum on our own time before meeting in-person
  • directed and open discussion of the topics presented in the material
  • consideration of how we can apply what we’ve learned to our personal lives and “the harvest”
  • time for prayer and koinonia fellowship.
