## Resource

In this sermon, Pastor Dale Partridge examines Genesis 9:18-27 and sees that Noah’s prophetic blessings and curses upon his three sons establish the foundational order of the nations after the flood. He explores the nature of Ham’s sin against Noah and why Noah cursed Canaan specifically — showing that the curse on Canaan was ultimately the curse on Ham through covenantal headship. This passage reveals God’s design of distinctions among the three macro-races of humanity (Shem, Ham, and Japheth), setting the stage for the next two sermons which will test whether Noah’s words were fulfilled in history.
