If you’ve ever tuned in to a movie when it was half over, or started watching a TV series toward the end of a season, you know how confusing it can be: you watch a scene that you can tell is important, but you don’t understand why it matters. It’s hard to see the significance of plot twists when you don’t know the plot, or character development when you’re not familiar with the characters. Reading the Bible can be a lot like that: the significance of each part of the Bible is hard to see apart from a clear view of its overall storyline. Thankfully, all the main elements of the Bible’s story are introduced in its earlies chapters, and getting to know these chapters will help us understand everything that follows them. Join us as we go back to Genesis 1-11 this Fall at Harvest.
A handout on this sermon series is available at the Welcome Center.

Answering the big questions from Genesis 6:1-4

Who are the Sons of God?  Who are the Nephilim? Why does the answer matter? In this episode, Pastors Matt and Chris discuss Genesis 6:1-4 and the various theories about who these different people are, and they show a way to think through how to answer questions like this in the Bible.
