From the Start Part 14 examines Genesis 6:1–8, one of the most complex and debated passages in the Old Testament. As humanity multiplies across the earth, Scripture reveals a corresponding increase in moral corruption, culminating in God’s grief over the condition of the human heart.
This sermon carefully explores the identity of the “sons of God,” the “daughters of men,” and the Nephilim, presenting the primary interpretive views held by faithful theologians. Rather than promoting speculation, the message emphasizes humility in biblical interpretation and keeps the focus on the clear theological truth of the passage: humanity had become thoroughly and continually wicked.
Ultimately, this message calls believers to recognize that sin begins internally before it manifests externally. Drawing from both Genesis and the New Testament, the sermon reminds listeners that spiritual battles are fought in the mind and heart, and that God faithfully provides the power and means to resist temptation. This teaching encourages repentance, vigilance, and renewed dependence on Christ.
