I believe that our text this evening explains the struggle to pass on the faith that we saw last week in Genesis 5. Genesis 6:1-4 overlaps Genesis 5. Satan was using bad marriages to hinder godly progress. Transition As we examine the age-old debate over the identity of the “sons of God” in Genesis 6, […]
