Genesis 8-11, Psalm 3

Imagine what it would be like to survive an apocalyptic flood where almost everyone you know is destroyed and you\u2019re stuck in a crowded, floating menagerie. Noah is rightly credited as brave and faithful to the Lord, but we\u2019ll soon see that the Bible doesn\u2019t allow us to think that the flood has solved the problem of sin. Even faithful Noah, who diligently constructed a massive vessel and survived destruction, was imperfect and flawed. After we wade through genealogies of Noah\u2019s sons, we encounter the tower of Babel, a monument to man\u2019s rebellion against God. Even with this blatant rebellion against the command to fill the earth, God graciously send them on their way by confusing their languages.
