Intro Video
Before we begin, meet our course presenter, Glen Scrivener, as he introduces Through the Bible: The Beginning.
Watch now
1: GOD
Discover the Bible’s Guide — Jesus. Ever since “the beginning” Jesus has been revealing God’s purposes in the world and in the word. This video shows how Genesis begins with Christ at its very centre.
Watch now
BONUS 1: LOVE
We all live as though “love is the greatest thing”, but why is it the greatest? In this video we see how the Bible is the foundation for our deepest intuitions — but without it, our deepest beliefs about purpose, justice and human value stop making sense.
Watch now
2: The World
Discover God’s purpose in creation as Genesis unfolds the story of a beautiful Creator making a beautiful world. See humanity’s calling and how creation points forward to Christmas.
Watch now
BONUS 2: SCIENCE
Does science conflict with faith? Explore how Genesis 1 provides the foundations that made modern science possible. Featuring the insights of pioneering scientists such as Copernicus and Kepler, this session shows how belief in an ordered Creator inspired scientific discovery.
Watch now
3: HUMANITY
Meet Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and discover humanity’s dignity and depravity. This video uncovers our tragic fall into sin as well as God’s promise to turn tragedy into hope.
Watch now
BONUS 3: RIGHTS
Where do human rights come from? This video traces the Bible's revolutionary teaching that every person is made in God's image. Drawing on Genesis 1 and modern thinkers, it reveals the biblical foundation for equality, dignity and the value of every human life.
Watch now
4: Noah
Explore the story of Noah to understand the reality of human sin, God's righteous judgement and his amazing rescue. Discover how the ark points beyond itself to Jesus, our perfect refuge.
Watch now
BONUS 4: HUMAN NATURE
Are people basically good, bad, or something else? Comparing our modern ideas with Genesis 1–3, this session explores the Bible's compelling account of human nature—created in God's image, yet profoundly fallen and needing redemption.
Watch now
5: Abraham
Contrasting the pride of Babel with God's call of Abraham, this video reveals God's plan to bless the nations through his chosen offspring. Following Abraham and Sarah, it traces the promise that ultimately finds its fulfilment in Jesus.
Watch now
BONUS 5: RELIGION
Is religion a force for good or harm? Contrasting the Tower of Babel with God's call of Abraham, this video explores the Bible's surprising critique of religion and reveals how Jesus creates a community marked not by pride, but by blessing and self-giving service.
Watch now
6: Isaac
Enter one of the Bible’s most shocking stories as Abraham is commanded to sacrifice his son, Isaac. Discover the difference it makes to read the story through the lens of Jesus. With him, the story becomes, not a barrier to faith, but an almighty boost.
Watch now
BONUS 6: THE BIBLE
The Bible is 66 books — does it really tell a united story? In this video we sweep through the Bible from beginning to end showing how it all centres on Jesus, the Lamb of God.
Watch now
7: Jacob
We join Jacob's story as he wrestles with God and receives a new identity. Discover how this life-changing encounter points to Jesus, revealing the God who meets us in grace, transforms our lives, and invites us to stop running and cling to him.
Watch now
BONUS 7: ISRAEL
Who—or what—is Israel? Journey from Jacob's new name to the nation of Israel, to Jesus, to God's worldwide family of faith. Get ready to have all your assumptions about “Israel” challenged.
Watch now
8: Joseph
Follow Joseph's journey from rejection and suffering to forgiveness and rescue. In this video, we see Christ as the pictured and promised King who fulfils God's plan to save many.
Watch now
BONUS 8: The Power of Story
Why do great stories follow the same pattern? Exploring the journeys of Joseph, Israel and ultimately Jesus, this video reveals the Bible's enduring "J-curve" of suffering, then glory. Ultimately, all great stories echo the greatest story ever told.
