Genesis - 6 - The World Grows Wicked

The World Grows Wicked

The World Grows Wicked

1️⃣ The World Becomes Corrupt

As time went on, the human population grew.
People began to do whatever they wanted — violence, evil, and immorality filled the earth.

Some men known as the “sons of God” (possibly rulers, judges, or powerful men) took any women they desired as wives.
This mixing led to mighty warriors known as the Nephilim — strong and famous people of that time.

But God saw that human thoughts and hearts had become completely corrupted — that people’s minds were filled with evil all the time.

It broke God’s heart.
He regretted what humanity had become and said:

“I will wipe out mankind, along with animals and birds, for I regret that I made them.”

2️⃣ One Man Found Favor

But Noah was different.
He was righteous, blameless, and walked faithfully with God, even when the world around him didn’t.

Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

God looked at the earth — it was filled with violence and corruption.
He told Noah:

“The end of all people has come, because the earth is filled with evil.
I’m going to destroy both them and the earth.”

3️⃣ The Ark’s Instructions

God said:

“Build a large boat (ark) from gopher wood.
Make rooms inside and cover it with pitch to make it waterproof.

The dimensions should be:

  • 450 feet long

  • 75 feet wide

  • 45 feet high

Make three decks, a door on the side, and a window near the top for light.”

Then God told Noah:

“I will send a flood to destroy all life under the heavens — everything with breath will die.
But I will make a covenant (a promise) with you.

You, your wife, your sons, and their wives will go into the ark.
Bring two of every kind of living creature — male and female — to keep them alive.
Also gather food for yourselves and for them.”

4️⃣ Noah Obeyed

Noah did everything God commanded him — exactly as he was told.

✅ Summary in Today’s Terms

  • Humanity became so violent and corrupt that God decided to start over.

  • Noah stood out because he walked faithfully with God in a dark world.

  • God’s plan was not just judgment but a fresh start through Noah and his family.

  • The ark symbolizes salvation, obedience, and faith in God’s warning — even when others didn’t believe.

Health - 1 - Health Through God’s Eyes

Health Through God’s Eyes When we talk about health today, most people immediately think about diets, gyms, or supplements. And while those things matter, the Bible shows us that true health goes way beyond just the body. Your health is body, mind, and spirit all working together , and God cares about every part of you. In 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, the Bible says: “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you…? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.” This means that taking care of yourself isn’t just about looking good or feeling better—it’s a way to honor God . Every choice you make about food, rest, or even your thoughts is an act of stewardship over the life God has given you. In today’s fast-paced world, we often ignore this truth. We eat on the go, skip sleep, let stress run wild, and push our minds and bodies past their limits. It’s no surprise that sickness, burnout, and emotional struggles are e...

Finance - 3 - Be Wise with What You Have

  Be Wise with What You Have God doesn’t just bless us with resources — He calls us to manage them wisely . Wisdom in finances isn’t about how much you have but how you use what’s been trusted to you. The Bible says in Proverbs 21:20 , “The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down.” In today’s language, that means: smart people save and plan ahead, but careless spending leads to stress and regret. In today’s world, it’s easy to fall into the trap of instant gratification — the latest phone, new clothes, fancy coffee, or online impulse buys. But God invites us to live differently. He teaches us to think long-term , to plan, and to avoid being controlled by money or possessions. True wisdom isn’t about chasing wealth; it’s about using what you already have with purpose . Financial wisdom includes budgeting, saving, giving, and staying away from unnecessary debt. It’s about saying, “God, how do You want me to use what You’ve given me?” When we manage mone...

Relationships - 1 - God’s Blueprint for Relationships

God’s Blueprint for Relationships Relationships are one of the most beautiful parts of life—but also one of the hardest. Whether it’s marriage, friendship, or family, we’ve all faced moments when love gets complicated, trust is broken, or forgiveness feels impossible. In a world full of mixed messages about love and connection, it’s easy to forget that God actually gave us a clear blueprint for how to build healthy, lasting relationships. From the very beginning, God said, “It’s not good for man to be alone.” (Genesis 2:18) We were created for connection—not just romantic relationships, but real, meaningful ones built on love, honesty, and faith. The problem is, society often teaches us to focus on what we can get from others, while God’s Word teaches us to focus on what we can give. When we step back and look at relationships through God’s eyes, everything changes. Love becomes more than a feeling—it becomes a daily choice. Marriage becomes more than a piece of paper—it becomes a ...
