The Jesus Code - Noahic Covenant (Hwy33)

What this episode covers

Text: Gen 6-9 Phil walks us through the painful decent of humanity into evil after the fall. But when things are at their bleakest, when the story seems over God makes a covenant. This is one of the first steps of God https://youtu.be/5GxC1pVqGqc Study Questions Phil told the story of his young daughter pretending to read her Bible. We call this keeping up appearances and we do this in all walks of life. Family, work, hobbies, and more. Why do people try to keep up appearances even though their hearts and minds are not in it? Grief always prompts a response. When you are in grief how do you respond? What helps you or hinders your process of grieving? What does God do when he grieves the evil in this world? The reputation of the church is very low these days and that can affect us deeply. But Phil reminded us that when the church is in step with Christ it holds back the evil in this world. Share some reasons why the world is better off with the church than without it. It is easy to blame our circumstances, family, work, and the world around us for the sorry state of our lives. But Phil reminded us that sin has touched every aspect of our being and especially our hearts; that is what we love. Name something about following Jesus that you wished you loved more. Then name a distraction in your life that you wished you loved less. What can you do to shape desires of your heart?
