2. A Very Good World (Genesis 2:4-25)
The fall in Genesis 3 explains for us why our world is broken and marred by sin. But the world didn't start out that way. Before Genesis 3, there was Genesis 1 and 2: a depiction of God's "very good" world, the world as it should be. So what can we learn from Genesis 2 about God's original design? In this talk, Conner Dill, a member of Thrive Harbor explores what Genesis says about the goodness of creation.
1. In the Beginning (Genesis 1:1-2:3)
Every story has a beginning. And how a story begins shapes its entire trajectory. What about our world? How does our world begin, and what does that tell us about God, ourselves, and the kind of universe we're living in? In this talk, Michael Bouterse, director of Thrive Harbor, opens up a new series on Genesis exploring how the Bible begins.
