Why God Grieved Over What He Made | Genesis 6: 1-8

Before the flood ever comes, Genesis 6 gives us something unexpected: a window into the grief of God. In this Wednesday Night Bible Study, Pastor Josue Rodriguez works through Genesis 6, verses 1 through 8, and pulls out the theology underneath the story. He covers the three interpretations of the sons of God, why God's judgment is always connected to his love, how chapter 6 functions as a hinge in the book of Genesis, and what cross-references from Jeremiah, Hebrews, and 2 Peter add to our understanding. He also gets into the potter and clay illustration, the parallel between Genesis 3 and Genesis 6, and why "follow your heart" is actually bad advice. This one has some depth to it. If you want to understand how to study the Bible, not just read it, this is a good place to start. 00:00 Welcome and Class Schedule 04:00 Reading Genesis 6:1-8 08:00 Original Audience: Israel in the Wilderness 12:00 The Sons of God: Three Interpretations 18:00 The Main Theology: God Takes Sin Seriously 22:00 "But Noah Found Favor": Grace Amid Judgment 28:00 How Chapter 6 Fits the Whole Story (Toledot) 34:00 Cross-References: Genesis 3, 2 Peter, Jude, Numbers 13 42:00 Jeremiah 17: Don't Follow Your Heart 47:00 What Chapter 6 Reveals About the Heart of God 52:00 The Coffee Maker and God's Grief 55:00 The Potter and the Clay: Judgment Clears the Way Pastor Josue Rodriguez leads Life Church of San Antonio, a bilingual Baptist church on the Southside of San Antonio, TX.
