"When Everything Changes"

Genesis 9 & Matthew 15

The Untitled, Open-Ended Study Bible

Preacher: The Rev. Megan Collins

April 19, 2026

Summary

What do you do when everything starts to change?

This sermon explores one of the Bible’s most confusing and misused passages—Genesis 9—and how it has been twisted to justify injustice. Tracing the story from Noah to Jesus and the Canaanite woman, we see a shift from exclusion to radical inclusion.

Change is inevitable. The question is how we respond: resist it, or look for where God is at work and join in.
