Three Insights from Two Tragic Nights - Genesis

Dr. Jordan Rogers continues preaching through The Book of Genesis in this sermon on Genesis 19:30-38 entitled, "Three Insights from Two Tragic Nights."
Sinners don’t need new opportunities, they need new hearts. It’s not enough for a person “to get a second chance,” because we as sinful people continuously need second chances. What people need is for God to create within them a new heart with the capacity and desire to love Him and obey His commands. If you place your faith in Jesus, He has promised to do exactly that: give you a new heart and to put His Spirit within you, forgiving you of all your sins and adopting you in to His family.
Genesis 19:30-38 is one of the most startling passages in all of the Bible because it records two terribly tragic nights of immorality. The man, Lot, who had just been delivered from the destruction of Sodom is enticed by his daughters to become drunk, after which his daughters, on two consecutive nights, rape him and become pregnant. These people had just received a second chance and were spared from the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, but with their second chance they make a great mistake.
This is a sermon from Genesis 19:30-38, and below you will find the video recording, the text of Scripture, and a sermon outline to help you along as you watch. I hope this study tool helps you grow in your love for the Lord Jesus and in your obedience to Him.

Sermon Title: “Three Insights from Two Tragic Nights”
Text: Genesis 19:30-38
“(30) Now Lot went up out of Zoar and lived in the hills with his two daughters, for he was afraid to live in Zoar. So he lived in a cave with his two daughters. (31) And the firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to come into to us after the manner of all the earth. (32) Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve our offspring from our father.” (33) So they made their father drink wine that night. And the firstborn went in and lay with her father. He did not know when she lay down or when she arose.
(34) The next day, the firstborn said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine tonight also. Then you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve our offspring from our father.” (35) So they made their father drink wine that night also. And the younger arose and lay with him, and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose. (36) Thus both the daughters of Lot became pregnant by their father. (37) The firstborn bore a son and called his name Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day. (38) The younger also bore a son and called his name Ben-ammi. He is the father of the Ammonites to this day.”

In 40:30 you referred to Exodus 23:2-6 about 10 generations of not allowing them to worship Yahweh, I am looking at the chapter in vain and can't find your reference. Thanks.

[@JordanNealRogers]

I misspoke, friend. I said "Exodus 23:2-6" when the correct reference is Deuteronomy 23:2-6. Deuteronomy 23:2-6, “2 No one born of a forbidden union may enter the assembly of the LORD. Even to the tenth generation, none of his descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD. 3 No Ammonite or Moabite may enter the assembly of the LORD. Even to the tenth generation, none of them may enter the assembly of the LORD forever, 4 because they did not meet you with bread and water on the way, when you came out of Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse you. 5 But the LORD your God would not listen to Balaam; instead the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the LORD your God loved you. 6 You shall not seek their peace or their prosperity all your days forever.” Note, that in vs.4, the explanation for why the Moabites and Ammonites were forbidden from entering the assembly of Israel is because those people refused to show kindness and hospitality to the Israelites as they traversed toward the Promised Land.

@@JordanNealRogers Amen brother and you said 10 generations were added more ? May I know which scripture reference? I'm just really interested and it so warms my heart when you expounded about the story of Ruth- how great is the Lord's grace! Thank you again.

[@JordanNealRogers]

The Deuteronomy passage is where the Lord speaks of the 10 generations.

So Lot has no responsibility?

[@JordanNealRogers]

Every human being is responsible for sin. I have never claimed that Lot bears no responsibility.

[@HisDeik]

Wow basically God punished their sons for what their mothers did, 🤔

[@JordanNealRogers]

All human beings are by nature children of wrath (Ephesians 2:3) and there are none who are righteous and undeserving of God's just punishment (Romans 3:10-18). The only person who has ever received punishment for sins He did not commit was Jesus Christ, and He willingly submitted Himself to die as the substitute for sinful people such as you and I (Romans 5:6-8). God has never been unjust to mankind, but He has been marvelously and exceedingly patient, merciful, and gracious (Romans 2:1-6). All people are called on to repent of their sin and unbelief and surrender themselves in faith to the loving God who will forgive their sins through His Son Jesus Christ (Romans 10:8-13).

Sodom and gommorah never really existed. The bible is bronze age mythology.

May the Lord Jesus open your eyes to see and your ears to hear.

Friend, did you watch the entire sermon?

[@heinmolenaar6750]

No, the bible is of no value to modern people anymore. All organized world religions have long since lost their credibility. ​@@JordanNealRogers

​​@@JordanNealRogerschristians don"t follow the ancient jewish laws of leviticus. The laws of leviticus are outdated and completely idiotic. Some of these laws are nowadays even crimes. I hope you never eaten shellfish or you'll burn in everlasting flames. How can you take leviticus/bible seriously? The "wisdom " of leviticus and other teachers from the bible is the "wisdom " of people who lived in primitive and barbaric cultures from ancient times. But christians love to quote leviticus to attack homosexuals. A fool's faith is dangerous. A fool will always misuse his faith out of his foolishness. Leviticus : when a man lie with a man as with a woman.....I shall lie with whomever I please. It's n'one of anyone's business
