September 27, 2010 – 7:33 am

As the nations of people developed and gathered, they built a pseudo city of God, which God judged by scattering the people, some of whom He would gather together by His Spirit at Pentecost. http://media.urclearning.org/audio/tm.judgementoftheworld09-26-10.mp3

Genesis 9:18-28 | Big Bad Sin

September 19, 2010 – 6:47 pm

Did Ham just “look” at his father’s nakedness? It doesn’t appear that this is the case. There seems to be much more here than “seeing.” Indeed, why is Ham’s entire line cursed? http://media.urclearning.org/audio/tm.bigbadsin09-19-10.mp3

Genesis 6:9-8:22 | The Flood

September 11, 2010 – 8:47 pm

Those who make the “Noah and the ark” toys misrepresent what the flood is all about. It is not a nice story about Noah and his family taking a trip in the ark with the animals. It is about epic judgment and epic salvation. Scripture Lesson: Genesis 6:9-8:22 http://media.urclearning.org/audio/tm.theflood09-05-10.mp3
