Genesis Bible Study
A Chapter A Week
This Genesis Bible study provides an eleven-week study that covers the first 11 chapters. It begins with a study of creation and finishes with the birth of Abraham, the father of many nations.
These 11 Bible studies feature daily online study questions designed for small group or individual study. It's always better if you can share your insights with another, so we recommend small group studies if possible.
Some questions require you to study the scriptures within the chapter, others will require you to go to related chapters or books of the Bible. Then there are questions only you can answer as we seek to apply Biblical principles to our lives.

"Next to the parables of Jesus the stories of Genesis 1–11 must be the most familiar part of the Bible. Nearly everyone has heard of Adam and Eve, the Flood, and the tower of Babel.
Yet at the same time it is the most contentious: some people dismiss it as myth or fairy tale, while others hold it to be good science and accurate history.
And as far as the New Testament and early Christian writers were concerned this was the part of the Old Testament that was most influential in the formulation of Christian doctrine." 2

We pray these Bible studies are a blessing to you. Our desire is that God will speak to you through His Holy Word and that you grow closer to Him by studying the Bible.
The Bible says God's Word is a lamp unto our feet and a light upon our path (Psalm 119:105). So why walk in darkness when you can walk in light? Walking in light makes life easy - You won't "stub your toe" on Satan's traps when you can see them with the light of God on your path.
The Apostle Peter tells us God wants us to study the Bible so that we can have something more sure, the prophetic word, and that we will do well to pay attention to it as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. (II Peter 1:19)
