Why is this world here?  How did it get here?  What are we supposed to be doing here?  Why is this world so messed up?  Why are we so messed up?  Can anything be done to fix this mess?  Is there a purpose to all of this?

These are some of humanity’s most fundamental questions, and we’ll be dealing with them in our new sermon series, as we work our way through the first eleven chapters of Genesis.

And, yes, that is a smear of blood.  Because in the beginning something went wrong.  And someone’s going to have to pay for it.
