    Importance of Genesis—Joshua

    The concepts in these 1st 6 books are foundational and built upon by the rest of the OT and NT.
    The rest of OT is an account of Israel in her covenantal relationship with God.
    The NT is then squarely built on the foundation of the OT.
    Everything from creation to God’s relationship with Israel and all of humankind begins and is established in Gen-Josh.
    If you don’t understand what’s happening in Gen—Josh, there will be holes and significant pieces that will be misunderstood and not make sense later in the OT and in the NT.
    The Goodness of God in the Story of God focusing on Gen-Josh and then beyond is the focus for the Jr High this year.

    The Sr High are also encouraged to participate as a part of their theme of pursuing God’s upward call (Phil 3:14).
