This page contains the links for our special series within our overall study of Genesis. We’ve designed this series to discuss and compare what God teaches us about Himself, the world, and us with what the culture presents in its media, movies, literature, and video games.
Note: Some downloads say “long version” others say “short version” or “foldable”. Long versions are 8.5 x 11″ in portrait orientation. Foldables are to be printed on 8.5 x 11″ front and back and flipped on the short side. The long versions are best for reading on a device. The class had foldable notes and therefore the page numbers referred to in class are for the foldable style. The document link will download a pdf copy of the handout to your device.
