Lamb preaches from Genesis 4:16-5:5 6:1-8 and begins by stating that all men have the same flaws deep down that can be restrained but cannot be removed. Human nature is rotten from the Fall and is set for the garbage. In Genesis, the beginning of cities is seen in Cain, moving to Nod and establishing somewhere to hide. Lamb proposes that a city can be a place for all the evils of society but can also be a place of arts and civility. It is in the city where man isolates himself from others and God and where he seeks to create a haven for himself, which turns out to be a place of crime and violence. Lamb contrasts this earthly kingdom to God's. The arrogant and vengeful way of Cain would continue throughout history. Lamb defines 'Sons of God' as believers and they married who they fancied, heedless of God. This resulted in even the line of Seth becoming contaminated and rotten. Noah lived in a contaminated world and still followed God and spoke for Him. We must be lights and witnesses in a world that has forgotten God and is headed for destruction. Finishes with a song.
