Genesis Bible Study from Four Soils Ministry

Congratulations - You have finished the Bible study lessons of the Genesis Study. Before you start the Bible study of Exodus, I would like some feedback on Genesis Bible study.

Our desire is to keep making improvements to our Bible Courses, therefore we are asking each student to comment and make suggestions on each Bible study module as we progress through the course.

1. Did you learn anything new about the Bible or the subject of theology in the Geensis study? If so list some of the important things you learned.

2. What did you like and what did you dislike about the Genesis Bible Study?

3. Did we leave out an important aspect of Genesis? If so what?

4. What changes or improvements to the Genesis Bible course would you suggest?

5. Tell me a little about yourself, your calling, your ministry goals, etc?

6. Chose either the subject of "the Creation" or "the Fall" and do a brief sermon or lesson outline.

7. Evaluate the story of Genesis chapter three on the affects of sin (hiding, guilt, blame, fear, etc). Meditate on how our sins influence our relationships today and write a brief discussion on how you could use the Biblical information of Genesis in counseling someone who is involved in a broken or strained relationship.

8. If you are desiring the certificate in biblical counseling, please complete Biblical Counseling lesson 1

9. If you are desiring a certificate in Preaching or Bible Teaching, please complete Preaching Lesson 1.

Now that you have finished the Genesis Bible study, may God not only keep you excited about learning His Word, but also give you more opportunities to share it.

Have a great day in the Lord!
