On Sunday, Jeff explained the importance of genealogies inScripture. Genealogies help toremind us of the character of God, our identities in Him, what He has saved usfrom, and the mission He has given us. Jeff went through Genesis 10 to show us each of these characteristicsthrough the sons of Noah—Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Shem (reminds us ofthe character of God)
- How has God been faithful to you when you have not been faithful to Him?
- Do you always believe that God is trustworthy and faithful? Explain.
- Beg God to show your heart that He is always faithful.
Ham (reminds us of what He has saved us from)
- In what ways have you been like Nimrod? (i.e. You have felt as though you can do things without God)
- Jeff used Psalm 73 to show that one of the ways of fighting such arrogance is through community. What does Biblical community look like in your life?
- Live in Biblical community throughout the week, helping each other grow in Christ through admonishing, rebuking, etc
Japheth (reminds us of our mission)
- Do you feel as through people throughout the world are your family?
- In what ways can you love on the nations and the lost people around you?
- Pray that god would save the lost throughout the nations.
- Proclaim the Gospel to those who do not know Him in your life.
