Corruption, Nephilim, and two Lamechs: The Hopeful Path in Wicked Times with Joshua Liem

from Pilgrim Church · host Pilgrim Church

Corruption, Nephilim, and two Lamechs: The Hopeful Path in Wicked Times with Joshua LiemGenesis 4:17-6:5What story are you living in? Genesis 4-6 presents a stark contrast between two family lines—one rooted in violence and vengeance, the other in faith and hope. From Cain to Lamech to the mysterious Nephilim, we’ll explore how these ancient narratives shape our understanding of power, corruption, and God’s plan for redemption. Bring your Bible and join us this Sunday as we unpack this ancient text and its relevance for today.For reflection & discussion: In what ways do we still live in a “mythological world” today? What modern myths shape our culture? What do you imagine Enoch’s walk with God looking like?  What are ways that you think he distinguished himself with the rest of the world? Who or what do you think the "Nephilim" were? How do different interpretations impact our understanding of Genesis 6? What does this passage say about the spread of sin and evil? How do we see similar patterns in history and today? What does Noah’s name ("This one will bring us comfort…") reveal about the longing for redemption in the biblical narrative? How does this story connect to Jesus and the gospel? What does it mean to live in His story rather than the world’s? What are the ways the stories of Cain, Lamech, and the Nephilim play out in our modern myths?  How might we live counter-narratively?
