In this section of Genesis, mankind tries to build a name for themselves while attempting to reach God. How does God interact and show His mercy towards such pride? By coming down to us.

After the flood, God begins building the nations through Noah’s sons. Why does this matter? For two main reasons, to oversee God’s creation and to keep His promise to fill the earth.

After the flood, Noah and his sons begin a new life in a new earth. However, the flood waters did not remove sin from our world or our lives. How can we overcome sin, shame and the curse? The answer is in our text of Genesis 9.

How do we live in an evil world? To be like Christ means to live our enemies! Why do we do this? Because Jesus loved his enemies… us!

God creates a covenant to Noah, a promise to recreate and refill the earth with His image bearers. God is the promise maker, and promise keeper!

After the flood, God promises to restore humanity through Adam and his sons. This gives us a glimpse into the importance of life to God and to us.

With sin comes righteous judgment. So how can we, like Noah, avoid judgment and find grace? Genesis 7 gives us the answer.

Noah was considered righteous by God, but it was his faith in God that made him righteous, not his actions.

What separated Noah from his evil generation? He walked with God! Genesis 6 gives us a glimpse into how we too can walk with God in righteousness.

When mankind has continually evil thoughts and actions, what must God do? Put an end to it but one man found favor and blessing.
