Genesis 9
Nov 7, 2026 • Pastor Steve Finley
What do a rainbow, a drunken farmer, and a cursed bloodline have in common? They all point to the faithfulness of God and the preciousness of human life. This week in Genesis 9, we unpacked one of Scripture's most awkward and misunderstood passages -- and found stunning clarity about God's covenants, the sanctity of life, and the unfolding story of redemption.
God set his bow in the clouds -- the same word used for a weapon of war -- as a sign that his judgment was set aside. Every rainbow you see is a reminder of his faithfulness. And every person you you know, meet and pass by in the everyday routine of life bears the image of God, the same image Christ died to restore.
