A home group at our church recently went through the Test of Faith video series. People found it helpful and stimulating.
To follow up this past week we looked at the first three chapters of Genesis.
First we watched an excellent video Science and Genesis from Biologos.
Then we read Genesis 1-3 and discussed the following questions:
How do these chapters describe God?
How do they describe the natural world?
How do they describe humanity?
How do they describe the relationship of God with humanity?
How do these chapters fit into the rest of Genesis?
How do these chapters relate to the rest of the Old Testament?
How do these chapters relate to the New Testament?
What literary genres are present here?
Poetry, history, parable, myth, law, science, journalism, polemic?
What do I learn about thinking and acting in a manner that is pleasing to God?
These questions are adapted from the book of Tremper Longman III, How to read Genesis (IVP, 2005)
