Death Reigned

Genesis 5:1-32

November 17, 2024 • Bryan Hughes • Genesis 5

How many funeral services have you attended in your life? Death is an enemy and it has hurt every one of us. Some of us it has hurt deeply.

There is a chapter in the Bible that is, in a sense, devoted to the vivid reality of death and that is Genesis chapter 5.

Life in the Antediluvian World

November 10, 2024 • Bryan Hughes • Genesis 4:16–26

The antediluvian period is the time period chronicled in the Bible between the fall of man in Genesis 3 and the Genesis flood narrative that begins in chapter 6. We aren’t told a great deal about life in the antediluvian world but what we are told is fascinating.

Sin Begins its Devastating Rule

November 3, 2024 • Bryan Hughes • Genesis 4:1–15

Death is universal and the pain of death is universal. Romans 5:12 says, “Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all...” All the deaths we see are the results of sin's devastating rule over mankind.

The Aftermath of Sin and the Curse

October 27, 2024 • Bryan Hughes • Genesis 3:20–24

Today, we live in a cursed creation that has earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, monsoons, tsunamis, tidal waves, deadly creatures and deadly diseases. So much was lost when Adam and Eve sinned, and it won’t be fully reversed until we get to the new heaven and the new earth, which is described in Revelation 21:4.
