Series Overview
For many people, the Old Testament  is confusing, irrelevant or both.  In this series we’ll help people understand the highpoints of the book of Genesis from chapter 12 all the way through chapter 50, the end of the book.  We’ll look at some of the main characters and events in their lives and see how God is in the process of restoring the world and what that has to do with us and our lives today.
