Back to the Beginning – Resources

Welcome to the “Back to the Beginning resource page. Back to the beginning is a series of biblical lessons presented to the Adult Sunday School Class at Faith Baptist Church in Mattawan, Michigan. The overall purpose of this Bible study is to take a deeper look at what the book of Genesis teaches us about ourselves, God, and His creation. Below you will find links to the various resources used in the class including audio from the class, some PowerPoint presentations, and handouts.

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.
