As we come to the final sermon in this series of 26 sermons (that began 10 months ago on September 15^th of 2013) I want to refresh your mind a bit about where we have been…

We spent the first 9 sermons going over the events of Creation Week; 1 sermon on the Marriage of Adam and Eve; 7 sermons on the Fall and its consequences; 2 sermons on God’s decree of salvation; and 7 sermons on the Flood and its aftermath.

Genesis Chapter 12 begins the story of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph and the founding of the Hebrew people and Nation. I intentionally decided before I began this series that I would stop with Chapter 11 and move on to my next series of Doctrinal Sermons entitled, “The Believer and Their Bible” that will continue (as the Lord allows) until Labor Day weekend.

I am planning to follow that series with a verse-by-verse exposition of Matthew Chapters 24 – 25 that will continue through November of this year. These two chapters cover what God has decreed for the “End Times” and will entail a lot of teaching on Biblical Prophecy.

This coming Lord’s Day, (as the Lord allows) I will demonstrate in Genesis 11 that in the 4,500 years that have passed since the events of Genesis 1 – 11, both the rebellion of man against God and the response of God to the rebellion of man against HIM have not changed!

Humans are rebels because of our fallen sinful nature and the presence of “Original Sin” in our spirit. God is perfectly holy and cannot and will not let sin go unpunished!

We will consider Nimrod and what we learn from him and from the fact that so many people were willing to follow him.

We will consider the attempt to overthrow the rule of God at Babel and how that has impacted the location of peoples in the world as we know it today.

We will see what a “Theophany” and a “Christophany” is and how we can understand something about why God would come to earth from time to time in some unusual forms.

Finally, we are confronted in the genealogies of Genesis 11 with the rapid decline in the span of human life! I will ask and hopefully answer the questions as to why and how God decreed this change.

I have enjoyed this series. I trust that this “capstone” sermon in the series will be a blessing to you.

I hope to see you Sunday with a smile on your face, your Bible in your hand, (you are going to need it) and your family and friends by your side!
