Scripture Readings

So how come we are reading in Genesis for our weekly Scripture Reading on Sunday mornings?

Good question! The answer is not that it is easier to find Genesis 1 than Matthew 1. Here is Phil's answer: We will build on our tradition (of Scripture readings) by doing readings from key passages in the Old Testament. Although we will be going in canonical order, and in the early weeks working consecutively through the first part of Genesis, we will not be going passage by passage through the whole Old Testament. Our goal is to edify our people with the Word of God, as we always do, but also to give the congregation a better working knowledge of the old covenant history of redemption, in its connection to Christ.
