Title: "The Stage is Set"

1. Why did Andy begin his message by talking about doctors, engaged couples, and driving? For whose grand entrance does Genesis 11 set the stage? What three things about the rest of Genesis does chapter eleven tell us?

2. Name some similarities between this genealogy in chapter eleven and the one we studied back in chapter five. Why are they likely not exhaustive but representative genealogies? What three sons round out the genealogy in Genesis 11 and what roles will they play in this book? At this point in the unfolding Story of redemption, what is the significance of Abram’s name?

Share something about yourself and our world that reinforces our need to be rescued. 

3. Read 11:29-30. What point is being made? In the face of our guilt, how does Genesis 6:3 reveal God’s grace to us? How is that reinforced by Romans 1:19-20, 10:13-15, & 2 Peter 3:9?
