Genesis 9:18-29 | Ben Potloff | As Noah and his family exit the ark and resume life after the Flood, we're waiting to see what exactly is going to happen with this family and God's plan for all of humanity. Unfortunately, we see a return to Genesis 3 and 6 as sin and corruption once again appear in God's once-perfect creation.

MAIN IDEA

Humanity is sinful and needs a Savior. 

OUTLINE

I. Drunkenness and dishonoring parents reveal mankind's depravity (vv. 18-23)

II. God will conquer his enemies and redeem his people (vv. 24-29)

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
