The Unyielding Heart of Mankind | Genesis 9:18-29

Pastor Anton Brown - 1/8/2023

Sermon Outline:

Big Idea: The heart of mankind is not changed in judgment but can only be transformed by the grace of Jesus Christ.

  1. We look for Another (19-24)
  2. Human hearts unaltered (22-25)
  3. Hope lies ahead (26-29)


Bible Fellowship Group Study Questions:

  1. Early in the sermon, Pastor Anton mentioned a mitochondrial DNA study by Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson (the link is below). If scientific findings require interpretation, how should the Scripture relate to science?
  2. How does Noah’s failure point us to Christ? Consider the covenants in your discussion.
  3. Compare the pre-flood and post-flood condition of the heart of mankind (this includes the hearts of each person). What is the difference? Why is this important to recognize?
  4. What did Pastor Anton think the most reasonable explanation was for Noah’s cursing of Canaan? See verses 24-25.
  5. In verses 26-29, we are left with Shem, Ham, and Japheth; Noah is dead. What hope does this passage offer us? See Luke 3:36-38.
