Moved lots of times in my life.
13 grade schools.
6 in one year.
Been to 48 states.
Lived in half of those.
Traveled a lot in business and ministry.
Some things you figure out over time.
Every place is different.
Every place is the same
Even when the language and culture are different, people are more alike than different.
In so many good ways they seem the same.
A Russian family loves and seeks to provide for them.
Their housing might be a 5 room apartment for a family of 6, but their love is deep.
Outside they may appear distant and closed.
But in their home, they laugh and care.
And also it is true that in bad ways people are the same.
Sin runs deep.
It has an impact in every area of life.
People steal, lie, kill, and deceive everywhere you go.
People struggle within and without.
There is no escape.
New locations / new situations are not the ultimate solutions.
We must face our issues.
We must face the sin that must be dealt with.
As things change.
They also remain the same.
Noah has survived the destruction of the flood.
He and his family trusted and worshipped the Lord.
They have a new start.
And yet with the new start, they face the same issues as those who came before.
Gen 9:18-18 They have a new start, but they must face the same issues.
.
I. A new start / Same issues: The sin danger remains
A. Sin awaits the careless Gen 9:18-21
(ESV) Genesis 9 18 The sons of Noah who went forth from the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
(Ham was the father of Canaan.)
19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the people of the whole earth were dispersed.
20 Noah began to be a man of the soil, and he planted a vineyard.
21 He drank of the wineand became drunkand lay uncoveredin his tent.
1.
New Adam / Still sin
Previous success is no guarantee of continuing success
a.
Take down your guard – trouble
Even for the one man that God declared righteous
b.
Known for his faithfulness to do what God commanded
In a moment disaster awaits
2. Cycle of carelessness
First mention of wine – not a good thing
a.
Was fermentation new?
Changes people
b.
An avenue for sin to pounce
1) Noah / Lot / Jacob Never does drunkenness yield good
3. Noah sin Impacts his children
B. Sin produces sin Gen 9:22
(ESV) Genesis 9 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakednessof his father and told his two brothers outside.
1. Problem is not in the seeing but in the response to it
a.
What did Ham do that was wrong?
1) Saw nakedness / Did nothing about it Made shamefulness public / Reveals deeper issues within 2) A message to Israel / The sin of the culture runs ancient / no coexistence
2. How does one respond when one discovers sin - tell everyone else so that they think badly of the person
Talk with others to create division and ‘sides’
3. Cause other’s to harbor ill will against someone even though they themselves were not impacted.
Sin spreads
C. Sin gets discovered Gen 9:24
(ESV) Genesis 9 24 When Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his youngest son had doneto him,
1. Sin is found out
Consequences await
a. Noah / Ham / Canaan
II.
A new start / Same issues: A proper response to sin Gen 9:23
A. Did not join in the ridicule (or gossip)
(ESV) Genesis 9 23 Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father.
Their faces were turned backward, and they did not see their father’s nakedness.
1.
A totally different approach
Showed respect even in someone else’s failure
B. Sought to address the problem
(ESV) Genesis 9 23 Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father.
Their faces were turned backward, and they did not see their father’s nakedness.
1.
Part of a solution, not adding to the problem
Actions addressed the issue
2. Seek to help the person rather than rejoice in their fall
1 Cor 13 “not rejoice in sin, but rejoices in the truth”
C. Avoided the sin themselves
(ESV) Genesis 9 23 Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father.
Their faces were turned backward, and they did not see their father’s nakedness.
1. Avoided any variation of sin
Not tempted to validate – be enticed to know
2.
Not tempted to participate
When it is all done, Noah could thank these sons
D.
III.
A new start / Same issues: Promises of consequences / blessing
A. Sin corrupts a heritage Gen 9:25
(ESV) Genesis 9 25 he said, “Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be to his brothers.”
1.
First recorded words spoken by Noah
Problem of the parents cascade down to their children
2. Curios that no comment on Ham himself – all the sons blessed
Youngest son cursed
