  • Watch our Introduction video on the book of Genesis, which outlines the book's main theme and how it is fulfilled in Jesus. Genesis demonstrates how God can take all the evil we create and make something good. And he does so, not because he has to or even because he should, but because he made a gracious promise that he would. Despite all the sin we see through Genesis, God preserves a family line that would ultimately lead to Jesus. He is the one who takes all our evil and puts it right in his death, burial, and resurrection.
    Spoken Gospel has donated $25 to the National Forest Foundation to plant 25 trees in California's severe wildfire regions.

The California Wildfire Reforestation Fund is an initiative of the NFF to plant 50 million trees on the publicly-owned National Forests over five years.

(Those messages impacted me, I could never forget them!)

    God took us from our comfort zone and moved us in a new direction to home bible study. We have milk Christians and they do not know the Old testament and when we started working ion the bible study realized how much we had forgotten as for the last 17 years was not taught out of the OT.. So we decided to start in the OT and teach there to the NT. I prayed this morning for guidance and a way to narrow down the main points and I found your channel- I should say God did, and answered my prayers! God bless you for this. This will help so much and refresh my memory on stuff I once knew!

    It's great work and great imagery, and a good connection between the Old and New Testaments. Using the name of Jesus instead of God, in the beginning, threw me off, and I also think the project is incomplete. The new tree would not have grown had it not been for the blood of Christ that watered it. Jesus resurrected from death, which he incurred via crucifixion, which was warranted because of our sin. The blood, shed on the cross which is made from the tree of life that was dead because of sin; I like that symbolism.

    To be completely honest, i avoided these videos in favor of the other more traditional spoken words David Bowden has done. Things like Strike the Water, No Excuse, and the one he wrote for Christ is Risen by Matt Maher are some of my favorites. Man i was missing out. The imagery in this video is so powerful to me, from the idea that sinning was breaking God's creation even more to when the guy playing Joseph accidentally breaks his branch off WHILE FOCUSING ON THE PROMISE AND THE CALL OF GOD (represented by the seed). It really emphasizes exactly what David was saying in the spoken word, that no one was or is or ever will be able to avoid sin and therefore the punishment for sin except for God incarnate himself. Bruh this was powerful.

    I appreciate the engaging presentations you have on Youversion. You are definitely causing me to go back and reread scripture and allow the Holy Spirit o download Truth to me. As I was going through the “Jesus in Genesis” videos, I noticed something worth correcting. The presenter mentions that Ham was cursed (I believe in the “tower of babel” video and the one preceding it). This is in accurate. Canaan was cursed. It’s definitely worth pointing out and sharing with your subscribers especially when we recognize that saying Ham was cursed implies his sons/offspring were as well. Wherein fact, only one of his sons, Canaan, were cursed. I hope you see the Importance OC correcting this with Urgency. Thanks again

      We don't have an exact date yet, but it will most likely be in 2024. It will be our last video in this series, and we've released 20 of the 60 so far, covering all 66 books! 😊

    God never forgave Adam and eve. I still don't understand why they never repented for the mistake they made

    at 8:53 when "Allah" lays down the broken tree and saws off the branches, the tree resembles both a switch and the kabbalistic tree of life? A switch is what Jesus used to discipline the money changers in the temple? money changers like the red shields?

    Why is Joseph represented as also defying God's plan by pulling a branch from the tree on the stage? Joseph, while not being the new Adam who would completely fulfill the righteous mission given by God to humanity, was the one who made great strides forward in preparing the way of the Messiah. In fact, *no* sin is mentioned of Joseph in Genesis. Rather, Joseph acted as a type of Christ. As the text says many times, "But God was with him"; he acted faithfully when wrongly sold into slavery, while serving Potiphar, while being imprisoned, and while ruling as Pharaoh's second in command. In all these instances, he had just as much of a chance, and even more, as the previous characters in the story to reject God's ways. Instead, he served the Lord.
    On the contrary, Joseph's life in the story is structured in such a way that the reader, or the Israelite child who would be listening to this story for the first time from his father or a priest, would be directed to believe that there is some hope for humanity to be restored to God, that Joseph *would* be the new Adam! However, the reader or listener's expectation is let down in the pages of Exodus, when they begin to more fully see the cycle of rebellion, idolatry, desperation, repentance, restoration, obedience, and the return to rebellion as is displayed in the life of God's people.
    Thus, your portrayal of Joseph rejecting God's design is both confusing and misleading.

      You are absolutely right. We struggled a lot with Joseph, as he is the closest we get to a high point of hope in who would be the long-awaited​ Adam. However, as you point out, he is not the new Adam. And, while we don't see it in Genesis, we have to assume that while Joseph lived a life in step with the LORD, he was not perfect or sinless. This is why we chose to depict Joseph "breaking the branch" very differently from everyone else. He sets the satchel down instead of dropping it. He even turns his face away from the branch and snaps it, kind of reluctantly. This was all our attempt to express the nuance you bring up here.
      Please know that we completely agree with what you are saying and did our best to represent this. Since we didn't mention any direct sin of Joseph, but instead the cycle of sin and longing the book leaves us with (as you mentioned) I don't think we are being confusing or misleading.
      I hope this explanation helps. Thank you for standing for truth and biblical accuracy. We stand with you!

      @@SpokenGospel Team,
      Thank you so much for your reply and for addressing the issue. I appreciate those subtle details for how Joseph was portrayed and I believe other careful viewers will too. I agree with your assumption about Joseph's sinful nature.
      I think your reply will also be helpful for people who are skeptics and/or first time readers of the scriptures. As your team possibly knows, when discipling seekers, they are often quick to point out parts of scripture we normally look over in Christian circles, e. g., no mention of Joseph's sin in the Genesis account. And I'm sure you agree, demonstrated by your reply, that it is important that we notice these finer narrative points and think carefully about them in order that we are able to respond with wisdom and grace towards those with hard questions on Scripture. And not even just for the skeptic, but also the concerned follower of Christ as well!
      Thank you again so much for taking the time to reply to my comment.
      May the Lord grant you all grace and peace.
      Luke

      His sin could be perhaps marrying a non-israelite (many in his family were repproached for that even before Joseph lived so I'm assuming this law carries on to him) and/or effectively putting all of Egypt under state-sponsored slavery and his tolerance for the false religion of Egypt

      @@hectordanielsanchezcobo1773 Joseph marrying a non Israelite wasnt a sin but a perfect representation that Christ would save even gentiles through the gospel. All these pple were simply shadows of good things to come but the body being Christ.
