Cameron Jungels/Eastside Baptist/Sun PM/June 8, 2014 

Prologue 

The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham and Japheth. (Ham was the father of Canaan.) These were the three sons of Noah, and from them came the people who were scattered over the whole earth. (Genesis 9:18–19, NIV)

 

The Committing of Sin 

Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded to plant a vineyard. When he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent. (Genesis 9:20-21, NIV)

 

Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father naked and told his two brothers outside. (Genesis 9:22, NIV)

 

The Covering of Sin 

But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it across their shoulders; then they walked in backward and covered their father's naked body. Their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father naked. (Genesis 9:23, NIV)

 

The Consequences of Sin 

When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him, he said, "Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers." (Genesis 9:24-25, NIV)

 

The Grace of God 

He also said, "Praise be to the LORD, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the slave of Shem. May God extend Japheth's territory; may Japheth live in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be the slave of Japheth." (Genesis 9:26–27, NIV)

 

Epilogue 

After the flood Noah lived 350 years. Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died. (Genesis 9:28-29, NIV)

 

Main Idea

Ø  Our only hope to be delivered from the consequences of sin is through the grace of God.
