Why Does Genesis 5 Keep Saying "And Then He Died"?

Genesis 5 looks like a boring list of names and numbers. Then you notice that every single person ends the same way: "and then he died." Over and over again. What is God actually saying through a chapter that repeats death that many times? In this Wednesday night study, Pastor Josue walks through the full genealogy of Genesis 5 and shows why it is far from filler. God's blessing is still present after the fall. The image of God is still being passed down. And buried in all those names and lifespans are two breaks in the pattern that point straight to Jesus. This study uses the LIFE framework to connect the text to real life: what vision is God calling us to, what does obedience actually look like, what habits of grace do we need, and how do we bring others along.
