About this listen

God gives Noah and his family promises, reassurances, and commands to guide them as they establish the human race on a new, post-Flood world. These include the establishment of the timeless command of capital punishment and the sign of a rainbow in the heavens.



SMALL GROUP QUESTIONS:


- How should Christians reconcile God's command for capital punishment in Genesis 9 with Jesus' teachings on mercy, forgiveness, and turning the other cheek?


- What do you think a biblical perspective is on war, self-defense, and law enforcement? (Address one or all subjects individually.)


- If our society were to implement all the justice-related aspects of the Mosaic Law (e.g., the death penalty for murder, adultery, cursing one’s parents, witchcraft), do you think it would be a good or bad thing? Why?


- What does it look like for members of a church who don’t currently have young children to support marriages and families in a local church?


- When was the last time you felt overwhelmed by the grace of God?
