Prof Insights: Faculty-Led Workshop: Professor Lessing in Apex, NC

Gensis: From Creation to Chaos, to God’s Plan to Restore All Things

The Book of Genesis takes us from Creation to chaos to God’s plan to renew all things in Christ. Based upon Dr. Lessing’s forthcoming Concordia Publishing House (CPH) commentary, this workshop will help participants read the rest of the Bible more missionally and Christologically. Bible study and sermon resources will be generously shared.
