The Table of Nations // Genesis 10

In this chapter, we see how Noah's prophetic words spoken over his 3 sons played out over the subsequent centuries. We're also given a few insights into a strange character named Nimrod, who will play a key role in events at the Tower of Babel in Chapter 11.

SMALL GROUP QUESTIONS:

- Can you think of any present-day examples of how charismatic leaders can, like Nimrod, draw people away from God?

- Do you feel the natural draw of the flesh to forget and neglect because of the busyness of life? What practices and disciplines have you found helpful in fighting against this natural tendency?

- Even Christians can fall prey to false teachers. In fact, we see repeated warnings about this in the New Testament. How can Christians avoid being deceived by "Christian" false teachers?

- Read and discuss Romans 16:17-18, Galatians 1:6-9, Colossians 2:8, and Revelation 2:2.

- Read 1 John 4:1. What does it mean to "test the spirits"?
