Details

Jesus didn’t start showing up in Matthew; He’s been the center of the story since page one.

"The First Gospel: Jesus in Genesis" is a four-week teaching series designed to help students see how the Old Testament isn't just background, it’s prophecy, it’s promise, and it’s preparation for Christ. Through rich yet accessible Bible teaching, your students will trace the gospel thread through some of Genesis' most familiar stories:

Week 1: The Seed of the Woman (Genesis 3) — Explore how God’s first act after the fall was to promise a Savior.

Week 2: The Ark of Safety (Genesis 6–9) — Discover how the ark foreshadows Christ as our hiding place.

Week 3: The Mysterious Priest (Genesis 14) — Meet Melchizedek, the king-priest who previews Jesus' eternal role.

Week 4: The Promised Son (Genesis 22) — Explore how Abraham and Isaac point us to the Father sending His Son to save the world.

Each message is crafted as a full manuscript (1500–3000 words), formatted to DYM standards, and includes optional small group guides to make it plug-and-play for your context.

Best of all? It’s gospel-centered, theologically sound, and still 100% student-friendly.

Perfect for mid-week, Sunday mornings, or a short-term discipleship push. If you want your students to see Jesus on every page of Scripture, this series is for you.

About this Product
This series would work great for anyone who is interested in teaching students how to find Jesus on every page of Scripture. It makes Scripture exciting when we can look at passages throughout the Old Testament and find pictures of Jesus. It keeps Him at the center. As you use this with your group, don't forget to make pointing to Jesus your main goal. The small group guides are great for breakout discussions immediately after the message or during a midweek group. They’re open-ended, gospel-focused, and designed to help students wrestle with what the text means for their own lives.
