Sermon Notes
Genesis 6-8 – The Flood of Noah (Part 1), God proves through a global flood that He does bring judgment and punishes people for their sin. Does it ever seem like wicked people and evil continues to prosper unpunished in our world? Don’t be fooled! God is patient and desires for mankind to repent of their evil ways, but He is not slow to fulfill His promises. Just like in the days of Noah it is important for us to understand we must be watchful for the return of Jesus before He shuts the door to salvation just as He shut the door to the Ark. Listen to a powerful message on the veracity of the global flood that took the world by surprise. Genesis 6-8 – The Flood of Noah (Part 1) is not some mythological or allegorical story; it is the foreshadowing of the day of reckoning for all mankind.
The Flood of Noah – Genesis 6
THE FLOOD PROVES GOD DOES PUNISH PEOPLE FOR THEIR SIN
The Apostle Peter wrote: “Knowing this first, that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.” For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, (and by the word of God) the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. The heavens and the earth, which are now preserved by the same word (of God), are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?”
2 Peter 3:3-12, (NKJV) https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/2pe/3/3-12/s_1159003
Dr. Henry M Morris said: “The ark could’ve carried as many as 125,000 sheep-sized animals. Since there are not more than about 25,000 species of land animals known (that is mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians), either living or extinct, and since the average size of such animals is certainly much less than that of a sheep, it is obvious that all the animals could easily have been stored in less than half the capacity of Noah’s ark, each pair inappropriate rooms.”
Noah proclaimed God’s truth in a hostile culture
By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.
