Genesis: Reading Genesis the Way They Did with Ron Toft

In this week’s teaching, Ron Toft invites us into the ancient world of Genesis 1–2 and asks a different question than many of us grew up with — not how God made the world, but why this story was told in the first place.We explore the worldview of the early Israelites, the fragility of life in the “little strip of green” they called home, and how the creation story speaks about order, chaos, belonging, partnership with God, and what it means to be human.Rather than a science lesson, Genesis becomes a story about purpose, relationship, and the kind of world we’re invited to help create together.Kindred Church is a Christian community gathering in Reno, Nevada.
