The Consequences of Sin, Genesis 19

Speaker: Rev. Dave Dorst Series: The God Who Is There- A Series in the Book of Genesis Topic: 1 Passage: Genesis 19:30–19:38

Lot's life ends with a perplexing, disturbing account in Genesis 19 of his daughters coming to the conclusion that the only way they can continue their father's line is by having children with him.  So they get him drunk and conceive sons, who end up being the fathers of the Moabite and Ammonite tribes.  This sermon looks at the sad end to Lot's downhill slide, the consequences of our sins, and asks how the idols in our lives can lead us to terrible things like Lot's daughters did.
