When you read Genesis or when you read Exodus, those books at the very beginning of the Bible, what do you think first?
Where does your mind go?
Do you think creationism versus evolution?
Do you think about an ark in Kentucky?
Or do you think about Christ Christ and how He has been there from the very beginning and how He has shot through every book of Scripture, and that certainly includes Genesis and Exodus?
John and I are going to have a conversation today about Christ in the beginning.
And we're going to survey Genesis, we're going to survey Exodus and try to show you Jesus, not in a weird, hokey, where's Waldo, pull a rabbit out of the hat kind of way, but in a sound, biblical, apostolic
kind of way.
Christ is there.
He's for you.
He's a Redeemer.
That's what He's always been.
We hope it comforts you and encourages you.
Stay tuned.
Hey guys, this is Justin.
Maybe you know that you are forgiven because of Jesus Christ.
But you're wondering, what does Jesus have to do with my Christian life?
How is he involved in my sanctification, even?
Or is he concerned at all with the ways that I struggle and the way that my life goes up and down.
Is there any comfort for me in Jesus when it comes to all of that?
