In the beginning

Summary

othing is a surprise to God. From the beginning He planned to create life on earth. From the beginning He created humans in His image. From the beginning He desired to have a relationship with each of us. And, from the beginning, He had a plan for our redemption. The first eleven chapters of Genesis show us who God is, why He created the earth, and how He planned our redemption from the very first sin.

In the Beginning is a six-week Bible study on Genesis 1–11. This Bible study journal includes the entire text of Genesis 1–11. Daily readings explore not only the text of Genesis, but supporting verses and cross-references to provide a robust understanding of God’s character and actions in these early chapters. Also included in the In the Beginning Bible study journal are 30 daily devotions offering deeper understanding of Scripture. You will also find pages for daily Scripture reading, observation, application, and prayer, along with weekly challenges and questions.

This six-week Bible study is perfect for personal or small group study. In addition to the six-week In the Beginning reading plan, devotions, reflection questions, and challenges, this journal contains an additional two-week reading plan and journaling pages for further study. After studying the creation story and God’s plan for redemption you can complete your study with a short, two-week study through a few chapters of the book of Psalms, further displaying the character of God and His promise-keeping character.

In the Beginning is a Love God Greatly study journal designed to help women grow in their faith. Love God Greatly is a global ministry, providing quality resources to guide women to a greater understanding of God’s Word.

FAQ

We never want finances to be a barrier to any woman who desires to study God’s Word. That’s why we make our Bible studies accessible through our LGG app and as free downloads on our website for anyone who is unable to purchase a journal at this time. 

If you do use our free downloads, would you consider supporting our ministry in another way? Would you leave us a review on how the Bible studies have helped you?

At Love God Greatly, our heart is to break down barriers so that regardless of anyone’s language, location, or financial situation, every woman can study God’s Word through our Bible study resources.

The SOAP method is a simple, powerful way to slow down and truly engage with God’s Word, and we use this study method on all of our Bible studies. This acronym stands for Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer. Using this method, you will study God’s Word by writing out Scripture, observing key details, applying it to your life, and praying over what you’ve learned.

Put this method to practice and discover how it helps make Scripture come alive in new and meaningful ways. Learn more about SOAP.

Love God Greatly studies utilize the NET translation as our primary translation. You can also find this translation used in all of our Love God Greatly Bibles.

You’ll find our Facebook community to be a great place to find community, encouragement, and discussion, but it’s completely optional. You can experience the full depth of the study without joining a Facebook group.

While we do schedule Bible studies for our community to begin and journey through together throughout the year, you do not need to wait for a specific start date!

Just pick up the study and begin whenever you’re ready. Even if you have just 15 minutes a day, that’s enough time to engage meaningfully in God’s Word. 

Our studies are designed to be flexible and accessible for everyone at any time. You can complete them entirely on your own, at your own pace, and on your own schedule. 

Whether you prefer to study on your own, with a friend, in a small group, or with our LGG community, our Bible studies are created to help you build a daily habit of spending time in God’s Word.

We publish daily and weekly study content through our email newsletter, blog, and social media as each study is underway. You can always access past studies through our LGG App or the LGG Blog where you’ll find any additional study resources available to support you.
