Scripture Reference: Genesis 6:1-4

There is a very strange tidbit of a story in Genesis 6:1ff that is so odd that many are tempted to consign the Bible over to an absurd document of superstition. But if you dig into its meaning, you might find it opens us up to an unseen realm where God orders the world.

Sermon Points:

• What does this story say?
• What does this story mean?
• Why should this matter to me?

Scripture Reference: Genesis 3:14-24

How do you embrace the effects of evil in life and the dire consequences of sin but look to forgiveness as God’s only remedy. This is something in our culture that we don’t do very well, but if we don’t figure out how to love forgiveness, we’ll splinter into oblivion.
