Core Message

God’s plan includes many peoples; the genealogy maps mission terrain.

Flow

  • Descendants of Japheth: coastlands and islands.
  • Ham’s line: Nimrod, cities, and emerging empires.
  • Shem’s line: ancestor of Abram; blessing thread.
  • “According to their languages” anticipates dispersion.

Key Verse

  • 10:32 Families of the sons… nations spread.
    • Apply: diversity is design, not accident.

Notes

  • Nimrod hints at human empire-building—sets up Babel tension.
  • Genealogy is geography: tracks where blessing will travel.

Today’s Practice

  • Pray for a people group listed here (pick one region).
  • Honor cultural difference as part of God’s canvas.
