The Beginning and the "I Am"

READ

Genesis 1:1

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.


John 1:1

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

WATCH

And So It Begins

"A perfect beginning to the beginning."

REFLECT

  1. Where do you see God's rule in the story? What part of the story shows God's power or authority?
  2. Does this story show how sin ruins or separates? What part of the story shows the consequences of sin?
  3. Does any part of the story give us a hint of our need for a rescuer? Does the story anticipate or point toward Jesus in any way?
  4. Did you notice a part of the story where God's gift of grace changed someone? Where in the story did you notice the Holy Spirit at work for the characters to display the fruit of the Spirit or live lives of worship?
  5. Was there a theme of anticipation, waiting, or the hope of Jesus' first or second coming?
