Over the course of the new church year, we will spend our evenings in the Old Testament, the Bible Jesus read and quoted, and which points to him.  We begin with the first words spoken and written in the Bible: "In the beginning God" - a transcendent, all powerful, eternal, personal being - "created the heavens and the earth".  And the world has never been the same.  These words, the whole Bible, are God's great gift to us.  But they lead us to ask some basic questions: who is God?  Why creation?  What's His relation to us?

Scripture: Genesis 1-2
