Genesis 1:1-12:20

Creation, fall, promise

In this first talk, James Townsend looks at Genesis 1—12, giving an introduction to the Bible overview series. God created a good world, which he gave to humanity to rule over, enjoying his blessing and supreme rule forever. Because of its rebellion, the world is now under a curse, where evil abounds and death reigns. But even though the world was lost at the Fall, God has given us an everlasting promise—a new world.
