Studies In Genesis: Chapter 31 Series

Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 16, 2011

This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

Repenting Of Idols (Genesis 35)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 16, 2024

What kind of idols do we need to repent of? Let's look at Genesis 35.
