This is a message from Dr. Michael Yousef, Bible teacher, on leading the way.

Our prayer is that it will encourage you in your walk of faith.

And if you'd like to learn more about Dr. Yousef and the ministry of leading the way,

the place to start is l-tw.org.

Turn with me, please, to chapters 10 and 11 of Genesis. Here I'm going to show you how the city of man

was founded by Kane, progressed in a downward direction. Evil, my beloved friends,

evil never stand still. If you allow evil in your life,

if you allow evil in your home, if you allow evil in your church, if you allow evil in society,

evil cannot stand still. It will keep going down and down and down and down. It cannot stand still. It can only get worse.

And that's what happened. Adam and Eve lived outside of the garden. Cain went and built a city

run away from God. Now we see Nimrod building a city in defiance of God. Now in the last message, we saw how Noah, the preacher of righteousness,

was pleading with people, turn to God, turn to God, be saved from the coming flood,

be saved from the coming flood. They mocked him, they jeered him, they laughed at him.

But then God took him and his family and inside that ark,

and he saved him. He had three sons. Three sons. After the flood, they came out, and their names were

Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And God said to them, to repopulate the earth.

Ham sent against his father, and therefore he received a curse, and that curse continued on to his descendants.

But then Shem was respectful of his father, honored his father, and he received a blessing. And that blessing continued

on to his descendants. And that is why I'm going to take a moment and just speak to the young

people here today. Just listen to me for a minute. When you obey your godly parents,

you will receive a blessing and that blessing is going to be with you forever and even

your next generation.
