Genesis Reading Guide
Calvary is studying through the book of Genesis and invites you to join us through a daily devotional that coincides with our Sunday sermons. Each day includes a Scripture reading, a short devotional reflection, and a prayer prompt to help you engage with God’s Word in a meaningful and consistent way.
Every great story begins by introducing its main character. The Bible is no different.
When many people think about Genesis, they immediately think about creation, Adam and Eve, or debates about the age of the earth. While those conversations have their place, Genesis begins somewhere much more important. Before Moses tells us about the world, he introduces us to the One who made it.
“In the beginning, God…”
Those four words establish the foundation for everything that follows in Scripture. Before there was time, space, light, or life, God already existed. He was not created. He was not competing with other gods. He simply is. For the original audience, the people of Israel preparing to enter the Promised Land, this truth was life-changing. They had lived for generations surrounded by cultures that worshiped the sun, the moon, rivers, animals, and kings. Genesis declares that none of those things are worthy of worship because they are all created by the one true God.
As Calvary Baptist Church begins our journey through Genesis, we invite you to slow down with us. These opening chapters are not just ancient history. They are the foundation of the entire Bible. They teach us who God is, who we are, why the world is broken, and why we desperately need Jesus.
Our prayer is that this series and study will deepen your confidence in God’s Word, strengthen your faith, and help you see the unified story of Scripture from creation to new creation. Before we understand ourselves, we must first know the God who was there in the beginning. Everything else flows from Him.
