Part 1 - Beginnings… Jan 2026…
Key Verse: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” -Genesis 1:1
Summary Paragraph:
Genesis is the book of beginnings — the start of creation, humanity, sin, and God’s redemptive plan. We meet a God who speaks life into existence, calls people into relationship, and remains faithful despite human rebellion. Through Adam and Eve, Noah, and Abraham, we see that God’s story is one of grace, promise, and purpose. God creates order out of chaos, invites His people into rest, and establishes a covenant that will bless the nations. The story of Genesis calls us to trust God’s design, walk in faith like Abraham, and find our identity in being part of His good creation.

Summary Paragraph:
This month’s story traces God’s faithfulness through the lives of Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph, continuing the redemptive story that began at creation, was broken by sin, and anchored in God’s covenant promise to Abraham. Each generation wrestles with fear, family tension, and uncertainty — yet God’s promises hold steady. Isaac’s quiet faith, Jacob’s wrestling and transformation, and Joseph’s long road of suffering all point to a God who turns evil into good and preserves His people through one chosen son. Genesis ends with the assurance that even when life feels out of control, God’s hand is still writing a redemptive story that invites trust, surrender, and rest in His unseen work. His providence calls us to trust and surrender —
to breathe deeply and rest in His unseen work.
