Genesis 10: The Table of Nations

If you’ve ever tried to trace your family tree, you know how complicated it can get. There are names you don’t recognize, distant relatives you’ve never met, stories half-remembered. Now imagine tracing not just your family, but tracing back to the beginning of the human race. That’s what Genesis 10 gives us. Often called the “Table of Nations,” it’s a record of how the descendants of Noah’s three sons spread across the earth after the flood. But more than a list of names, it’s a map of God’s faithfulness, setting the stage for every nation, every language, and ultimately, for the story of salvation that will unfold.

The Rev. Roger Mullet, pastor of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Buffalo, WY, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Genesis 10.

Genesis isn’t just the start of the Bible; it’s the foundation of everything. Creation, sin, judgment, grace, covenant, and promise all take root in this remarkable book. The stories are ancient, but their truths are eternal.

In this new series from Thy Strong Word, Pastor Phil Booe and his guests walk verse by verse through Genesis, exploring how God reveals Himself as Creator, Judge, and Redeemer. From the grandeur of the cosmos to the struggles of ordinary families, Genesis introduces us to a God who speaks, acts, and keeps His promises. So, whether you’ve read it a hundred times or are just now cracking it open for a serious look, this series will help you see Genesis with fresh eyes—and a deeper faith.

Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God’s Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.
