[[-SOAP HUB]] [[Genesis 10]] ## Title: Our Family Tree ## Scripture: (Genesis 10:1) “This is the account of Noah’s sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.” (NET) ## Observation: When we read through chapters that are full of names we do not recognize, we can be tempted to skip over all the people who have gone before us. This is common and it is like hearing the stories from someone else’s family. However, that is the very reason we should read these chapters. This is not another person’s family. This is ours. All people came from the family of Noah. Therefore, these people are part of your story. Also, reading these names places our story firmly within history. These people lived. They navigated many of the issues we face today. They had to deal with pain, suffering, joy, fear, and gladness. Not only that, but they had to trust in the Lord and do the best they could. Each generation built on the legacy of trusting in the Lord. Now, it is our turn. ## Application: What legacy are you building into the chain of our family tree? ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for being with each generation that lives on Your Earth.
