A New Beginning
From Beginning to Fulfilment
Genesis in John
At verse level, show how Genesis is accomplished in John — not only echoed.
Mixed adults · Short core + optional deeper pairs
How each week works
Do not stop at shared themes. Ask: what Genesis started, how does John say Jesus completed it?
- Read Genesis (the promise / pattern / wound)
- Read John (where that is finished in Jesus)
- Walk the verse pairs (begun → accomplished)
- Name the fulfilment in one sentence
- Close with one response
Each week has a published slide recap for the group to walk after the study. Leaders are assigned in roster order starting with Dibe.
Six weeks
Genesis opens creation, fall, and promise. John shows that story reaching its goal in Jesus — the Word, the Light, the Second Adam, and the first morning of new creation.
