Life Before the Flood

Before the world was reshaped by the waters of the great flood, life on earth followed a course marked by both divine intention and human rebellion. This series of six deeply engaging classes invites listeners to journey through the opening chapters of Genesis, uncovering timeless lessons in creation, fall, grace, and judgment. With thoughtful insight and spiritual warmth, these talks explore how the earliest lives recorded in Scripture illuminate the path of faith, obedience, and hope — even in the midst of a darkening world.

In the Beginning

This first class lays the foundation by exploring the opening verses of Genesis. Rather than focusing solely on the science of creation, it emphasizes the purpose behind God’s work — to form a world where life could flourish in His image. The session challenges us to think spiritually and relationally about the creation account and to see God’s hand in ordering and blessing the world.

Made in the Image of God

This class delves into the creation of man and woman, not just as biological beings but as image-bearers of God. It reflects on the divine intention for partnership, responsibility, and love within human relationships. With an emphasis on the spiritual significance of marriage and the family, this talk draws lessons about God's design and our calling to reflect His character.

What Went Wrong in Eden

Sin enters the picture as this class walks through the events of Eden’s fall. More than a simple story of disobedience, it shows how mistrust in God’s goodness leads to ruin. The lecture carefully explores the spiritual consequences of sin — hiding, blame, and separation — while highlighting God’s immediate response in grace and the promise of redemption to come.

Cain the Wanderer

This fourth class reflects on the story of Cain and Abel, showing how unresolved sin leads to deeper estrangement from God and from others. It offers a sobering look at pride, anger, and the breakdown of brotherhood, but also contrasts these with God's persistent call to repentance and His mark of mercy. Cain becomes a warning — and an opportunity to reflect on our own responses to failure and discipline.

Enoch Walked with God

Unlike those before him, Enoch stands out as a man who “walked with God.” This class takes a deeper look into what that means by exploring Enoch’s faith, witness, and hope in the return of the Lord. Drawing from Genesis, Hebrews, and Jude, it paints Enoch as a faithful preacher in dark times and a type of Christ — someone who pleased God and stood apart in a corrupt age.

As It Was in the Days of Noah

The final class presents a powerful parallel between Noah’s world and our own. As humanity slid into widespread corruption and violence, God’s grief led to judgment — but not without grace. This lecture calls us to consider the urgency of our time, the blurring of moral lines, and the comfort of God’s covenant with Noah. Through it all, it reminds us that even in the worst of days, God calls His people to walk faithfully, just as Noah did.
