Creation Restored: The Gospel According to Genesis - DVD Leader Kit is a 7 session young adult Bible study on Genesis. Abraham, Jacob, and Joseph. As the main characters in the Book of Genesis, many of us have been hearing stories about these men ever since we were children. The problem is, such stories are usually broken up into isolated fragments: Abraham on Mount Moriah, Jacob wrestling with God, Joseph and his many-colored coat. When we dig deeper, we see that these men are part of a single, seamless story--one that stretches from the first page of the Bible to the last.Join authors Matt Carter and Halim Suh as they examine Genesis 12-50 and explore how the early portions of the Bible foreshadow the gospel of Jesus Christ -- the good news of salvation and redemption that we find only in relationship with Him. When we read about Abraham, Jacob, and Joseph--the family of promise--we read about salvation by faith. We begin to understand that God orchestrates everything, including suffering and evil, in order to redeem the consequences of the fall and ultimately restore us to Him.Sessions: Faith Is God's Decisive ActFaith Is Our Dependent ActGod's Love Conquers SinGod's Love Goes Further StillThe God Who Speaks in SilenceThe Gospel ReversalThe God Who Sets Us FreeFeatures: 160 page 6"x9" Member BookDVD with video component, leader guide, playlist, and supplementary articles7 sessions with 4 months of study durationThought-provoking questions good for personal reflection or group discussionHandles tough topics often shied away from and views them through the lens of grace and freedomChallenges readers to examine their patterns and desires and be inspired to subvert those desires with a renewed affection for JesusTakes a gospel transformation, rather than behavioral modification, approach to our sinAuthors: Matt Carter serves as lead pastor of The Austin Stone Community Church in Austin, Texas.
