In the Beginning

What existed before the stars, the earth, and even time itself?

The opening words of Genesis reveal the foundation of creation. In this introductory lesson from River Tree School of Prayer, we examine the biblical account of the beginning through the themes of time, space, and matter.

Together, we explore how Genesis 1:1 establishes the order of creation, how the universe reflects God’s wisdom, and how these first words provide the framework for understanding the rest of Scripture.

This lesson lays the foundation for the entire course, showing how God’s creative work reveals His character, His purpose, and His relationship with creation. By returning to the beginning, we gain a clearer understanding of Christ, through whom all things were made.

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” — Genesis 1:1
