The story of the flood is a tipping point moment of the curse. The violence, evil, and corruption in God's world have become so great that a flood is sent to revert the creation to the waters of the deep.
How will God rescue and redeem His good world gone bad? The story of Noah and the flood is written without dialogue and from Noah's point of view to invite us into his story. Like Enoch, Noah finds grace with God and walks with Him. Noah's faith in Genesis6-8 reveals to us God's rescue plan for humanity. How can we find grace in our time of need? How can we find salvation in the chaos-waters of life?

Genesis 1-5 tells the story of humanity living in the reality of life apart from God. For more than 1,000 years the families of Cain and Seth are unable to find a way back to the right relationship with their Creator. This week CITYLIGHTS paused its study of the fall to look into the Gospel's power to bring us into spiritual life and freedom. We were so thankful for our family members, Paul and Ashley, who vulnerably shared their testimony in this podcast. Their stories were a powerful remembrance of God's power to change our life. We hope you are encouraged by this reflection of Genesis 1-5 through testimony.
