The Depravity of Man (Genesis 6:1-8) - sermon manuscript PDF

$5.00

In an age where sin is normalized and wickedness often celebrated, Genesis 6 reminds us that our day is not unique—and that God has never been blind to human rebellion nor absent in His grace. The Depravity of Man is a clear, sobering, and hope-filled exposition of Genesis 6:1–8 that confronts the reality of human sin while magnifying the initiating, undeserved grace of God.

This sermon traces the rapid moral collapse of humanity from Adam to Noah, setting our present cultural moment in biblical perspective. While many are tempted to believe that today’s wickedness is unprecedented, Scripture reveals that the antediluvian world was marked by near-universal rebellion—yet even then, God preserved a righteous witness and extended saving grace. The result is a timely call for Christians to live righteously, preach faithfully, and rejoice deeply in grace.
