Genesis started in a GARDEN.

It ended in a COFFIN.

In Genesis 1, things were looking great. God had created the world, and said that all He had created was good. But things got dark in Genesis 3.

Following man’s sin in Genesis 3, a roller coaster of depravity followed. In Genesis 4, Cain killed his brother, and things didn’t improve through the end of the book.In today’s sermon, we will consider Genesis 50 (the final words of the last chapter).

B) What does Genesis tell us about God?

C) How does Genesis set the stage for the rest of Scripture?

Questions That We’ll Answer:

A) What is ‘providence,’ and how does that word apply to Gen. 45?

B) Why didn’t Joseph exact revenge, when given the opportunity?

C) What was God’s purpose in all the events of Joseph’s life?
