									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>The Relationship Between Genesis 1 and 2 – S9</b></p>
<p>Genesis 1 gives us the whole story in one opening movement. It introduces us to God’s ideal for creation, and Genesis 2 introduces the reality and the characters who will be given the chance to live out that ideal. The Apostles loved talking about Psalm 8, which is the most quoted Psalm. The&hellip;</p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Reflecting on the Macrostructure of Genesis 1-11 – S7</b></p>
<p>For Simeon, the Scriptures built an expectation for the arrival of God’s chosen one (Luke 2:25-26). The themes from Genesis 1-11 provide the groundwork for Simeon’s expectation, in that, the ‘first gospel,’ Genesis 3:15, God promises that a descendant of the woman (a &#8220;seed&#8221;, i.e virgin birth)&hellip;</p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The literary unit of Genesis 1-11 repeats itself and we see God is a God of justice and mercy from generation to generation. Genesis 1-11 introduces a tension between God’s justice and mercy.
