Sermon Tone Analysis

Flood Narrative

As we read keep in mind the 6 themes and one new theme Chaos, control of water, Spirit of God, dove, dry land, and new life/creation.

read using circular reading

Chaos

what are the different forms of Sin or wickedness are mentioned in the narrative?

genesis 6:1-8 their are to sins mentioned that The LORD is displeased with.

first is the mention of sons of God committing sexual immorality with the daughters of Adam.

second and relavent use his the violence of mankind, this is supported in gen 9:1-7 with the consequence of any human or animal that murders a man is to be put to death

Controls of waters

How Does The LORD control the waters?

in the LORD declares his control of the waters and in displayes his power buy controlling the water causing the flood and its destruction.

finally in the LORD causes a wind to blow across the earth and water begin to recede the LORD final display to show his power over the waters.

The spirit of God

We will need to remember the Hebrew word for spirit is Ru-ah רוּחַ; which means?

Spirit, wind, breeze, and breath.

So where is the Ru-ah and how is this connected to the spirit of God?

in the wind is the Ru-ah.

I would argue this is metaphorical in how the spirit of God is the actual force causing the waters to recede not a natural one.

connection to the creation narrative?

(motorcycle accident preventing me from committing a Life of great sin but comment to following jesus Christ; or a Mans broken key that brings him to need a ride and ask me for one and I am then able to Glorify who Christ is and show him Christ love; my truck accident and how it actually played out for the better) how at the time of the unforeseen events don’t make since for us until The LORD has fulfilled them this brings great glory to him

Dove

compare how dove is use in the flood narrative compared to the creation?

in Noah releases and actual dove not a metaphorical explanation of how the spirit of God over the chaotic water.

how have the use of ruah and dove changed in the flood narrative?

where the dove was metaphorical now ru-ah seems to be metaphorical

this is one of the little and yet important connecting details that The LORD shows us in scripture allowing us to connect the dots in scripture, and how would even view events in our lives.

(motorcycle accident preventing me from committing a Life of great sin but comment to following jesus Christ; or a Mans broken key that brings him to need a ride and ask me for one and I am then able to Glorify who Christ is and show him Christ love; my truck accident and how it actually played out for the better) how at the time of the unforeseen events don’t make since for us until The LORD has fulfilled them this brings great glory to him
