Genesis 5: From Adam to Noah
5: 1This is the record of the family line of Adam.
When God created humankind, he made them in the likeness of God. 2He created them male and female; when they were created, he blessed them and named them “humankind.”
3When Adam had lived 130 years he fathered a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and he named him Seth. 4The length of time Adam lived after he became the father of Seth was 800 years; during this time he had other sons and daughters. 5The entire lifetime of Adam was 930 years, and then he died.
6When Seth had lived 105 years, he became the father of Enosh. 7Seth lived 807 years after he became the father of Enosh, and he had other sons and daughters. 8The entire lifetime of Seth was 912 years, and then he died.
9When Enosh had lived 90 years, he became the father of Kenan. 10Enosh lived 815 years after he became the father of Kenan, and he had other sons and daughters. 11The entire lifetime of Enosh was 905 years, and then he died.
12When Kenan had lived 70 years, he became the father of Mahalalel. 13Kenan lived 840 years after he became the father of Mahalalel, and he had other sons and daughters. 14The entire lifetime of Kenan was 910 years, and then he died.
15When Mahalalel had lived 65 years, he became the father of Jared. 16Mahalalel lived 830 years after he became the father of Jared, and he had other sons and daughters. 17The entire lifetime of Mahalalel was 895 years, and then he died.
18When Jared had lived 162 years, he became the father of Enoch. 19Jared lived 800 years after he became the father of Enoch, and he had other sons and daughters. 20The entire lifetime of Jared was 962 years, and then he died.
21When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah. 22After he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked with God for 300 years, and he had other sons and daughters. 23The entire lifetime of Enoch was 365 years. 24Enoch walked with God, and then he disappeared because God took him away.
25When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he became the father of Lamech. 26Methuselah lived 782 years after he became the father of Lamech, and he had other sons and daughters. 27The entire lifetime of Methuselah was 969 years, and then he died.
28When Lamech had lived 182 years, he had a son. 29He named him Noah, saying, “This one will bring us comfort from our labor and from the painful toil of our hands because of the ground that the Lord has cursed.” 30Lamech lived 595 years after he became the father of Noah, and he had other sons and daughters. 31The entire lifetime of Lamech was 777 years, and then he died.
32After Noah was 500 years old, he became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
6: 1When humankind began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2the sons of God saw that the daughters of humankind were beautiful. Thus they took wives for themselves from any they chose. 3So the Lord said, “My spirit will not remain in humankind indefinitely, since they are mortal. They will remain for 120 more years.”
4The Nephilim were on the earth in those days (and also after this) when the sons of God were having sexual relations with the daughters of humankind, who gave birth to their children. They were the mighty heroes of old, the famous men.
5But the Lord saw that the wickedness of humankind had become great on the earth. Every inclination of the thoughts of their minds was only evil all the time. 6The Lord regretted that he had made humankind on the earth, and he was highly offended.7So the Lord said, “I will wipe humankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth – everything from humankind to animals, including creatures that move on the ground and birds of the air, for I regret that I have made them.”
8But Noah found favor in the sight of the Lord.

Reflection Questions
1. In this genealogy, notice how Enoch comes to a different end than all the others who are mentioned. Who else have we read about in the Bible that comes to a similar end?
2. Do you remember reading this story from Genesis 6 before? What details of it catch your attention?
3. Genesis 1-11 is often referred to as pre-history. In Genesis 12, Abraham and Sarah come onto the world stage and Israel’s specific ancestors of the covenant are named. What do you think pre-history means?
4. What is the difference between facts and truth?

Marking our Lenten journey, I liked this song. “Lenten Song” by Michael John Poirier

I was really moved by the joint prayer service with our partners in Tanzania. They have many challenges, but what a great spirit. This song will bring you hope and joy. “We Will Rise”. The Ndlovu Youth Choir.

Love [& RLC] Has No Labels.
We affirm, with the apostle Paul, that in Christ, "there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male or female. Christ has made us one." (Galatians 3:28)
RLC welcomes all and believes in diversity. Diversity is the range of human differences, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, social class, physical ability or attributes, religious or ethical values system, national origin, and political beliefs. ALL ARE WELCOME HERE!
We are a Reconciling in Christ Congregation. |
Beyond diversity though, RLC also practices inclusion. Inclusion is involvement and empowerment, where the inherent worth and dignity of all people are recognized. An inclusive congregation promotes and sustains a sense of belonging; it values and practices respect for the talents, beliefs, backgrounds, and ways of living of its members and its partners.

Diversity is being invited to the party. Inclusion is being asked to dance."

Our Mission:
Celebrating God’s Grace
through Worship, Nurture & Outreach.
The ‘church’ is God’s people who believe that they are redeemed by Jesus Christ and serve Him daily through their lives with love for our neighbors. The church is where God’s people gather to receive Him through His means of grace which we celebrate through the Gospel, baptism, Holy Communion, prayer, fellowship, and mission.
We daily affirm that Christ lives in each person throughout the world for we are all one in Christ.
