The first humans lived in a paradise meant to be conflict-free, but it became “Paradise Lost.” Fallen angels and mankind roamed the earth before the flood, and their fall still affects world conflict. Descendants of Abraham, through Isaac (Jews) and Ishmael (Arabs), still vie with each other as the nations God promised they’d be.

Experience a breakthrough in understanding the importance of belief and surrender. Why is Abraham’s encounter with a priest of Salem important? As he trudged up Mount Moriah with his son to sacrifice to God, was his faith reasonable? Abraham’s offspring are as conflicted as Cain and Abel, so we should ask, “was the flood effective… or even necessary?”

We’ll spend time with these difficult questions, remembering the God who really does have the whole world in His hands.

What People Say
The journey of Joseph has fundamentally changed the way I view my own circumstances and the God who holds my past, present, and future in His hands. I desperately want Joseph’s story to be told well – so I am personally adopting Genesis, Part 2.
I was carrying this gigantic burden on my back that I could never get rid of, and one day, I meet the Lamb of God for myself – and He takes my burden away. So, invite your friends, invite your neighbors, invite your enemies, because they all need to know what the Peace and Love of Christ can do for you.
I can’t overstate how important Blue Gospel Scripts has been to me! And it’s not just me. Pastors, Bible study leaders, long-time “church people” – all have told us they learn something new every time.
It is not just the Bible, and it is not just music. It's both that bring the Scripture to life!
