Welcome to the Family
As we continue our journey through Genesis, passage by passage, we arrive this Sunday at chapter 10—a section often referred to as “The Table of Nations.” Following the troubling episode of Noah’s drunkenness and the resulting curse on Ham and blessing on Shem, we are given a sweeping view of all the nations of the world, connected as descendants from Noah's three sons (Shem, Ham, and Japheth). This unique passage portrays all of humanity as sharing a common ancestry—one great, sprawling family tree (that includes you)! At the same time, one particular branch on this tree stands out. Come ready on Sunday to contemplate your own place in the great, big family of humanity!
