CEB Course Description
Genesis matters! Yet how sad that we often
neglect God's eyewitness account regarding
the origin of species, dinosaurs, ape-men, the
age of the earth, Noah's Flood, the Big Bang
and many other issues of our day. If you don't
know what to believe as your foundation, you
will build a shaky superstructure upon it when
it gets to issues of the nature of man, sin, the
gospel, and the person of Christ. This course
will assure your own heart and increase your
confidence to witness to others.
