Stay Connected with the Northpoint Family. We all ache to gather again. Being separated is tough, but during stressful times, it is even harder not to have face to face fellowship and the strength that comes from physically being together. Even so, we can still connect with each other. One way is to fill out the new confidential NP Care Card (See link below.). Once submitted, the card will be reviewed by the Northpoint Care Team. If you so indicate on the card, someone from the team will contact you.

Enoch Walked with God
Genesis 5
Dr. Tony Chute, Lead Pastor
Overview: The book of the generations of Adam provides a select list of descendants from the beginning of history to the time of the flood. It is a genealogy that is historical in nature, theological in substance, individual in focus, and communal in application. The blessings of life are evident in the births recorded, length of days provided, and potential realized; yet these blessings are offset by the reality of sin, the frustrations of life, and the certainty of death. The story of humanity, however, extends beyond this world, as demonstrated in the account of Enoch, whose life has a beginning but knows no end. This early indication of a world beyond this world and a life beyond this life is an encouragement to all who walk with God by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, who tasted death for everyone and grants eternal life to all who believe.

01. Walking with God is an individual choice that should be preceded by faithful prayers, godly examples, and gospel conversations from those who already know the Lord.
02. Walking with God is an ongoing practice that should include the classic spiritual disciplines, incorporate a Christian worldview, and inspire an inner sense of peace as we prepare to meet the Lord.
QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION & DISCOVERY
1. What is the purpose of a genealogy? What does the presence of multiple genealogies in Genesis suggest about its historicity? How does the existence of real persons in this genealogy remind us of our own purpose in life and mortality?

QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION & DISCOVERY
2. In what way does this genealogy highlight the life of the individual? Which individuals in the genealogy stand out to you? How does the lifespan of each individual inform us about the length of life prior to the flood? What would you have done with all that time?
