Genesis 6 - The World Before the Flood
Jill’s Links
The World Before the Flood | Genesis 6 Genesis 6 takes us into a world where violence and corruption have spread throughout humanity. Before we get to the familiar picture of Noah’s ark, we need to understand why judgment was coming—and why Noah finding favor with God matters. We explore the difficult questions surrounding the sons of God and the Nephilim without pretending Scripture answers every question, then look at what it means to walk with God when the surrounding culture moves in another direction.
