To Know a Noah Like Faith
Genesis 6-9
“Everything I need to know I
learned from Noah”
What can we learn from the life of Noah before, during, and after the call to build the Ark?
I. Before the Call’s Inception:
A. He stood out among a wicked people (6:5):
1. Lust led to unholy unions (6:1-4)
2. Hearts bent towards evil (6:5).
3. Grieved God (6:7).
B. He found favor in the eyes of God (6:8):
1. The Bible says that Noah was
righteous (6:9).
2. Noah, like Job, was said to be
blameless (6:9).
3. The Bible also says that
Noah “walked with God” (6:9).
II. During the Call’s Period :
A. Noah listened to God:
1. The Ark was his God-given vision.
“”Spiritual Vision”
2. Built the ark to God’s
specifications (6:14-22)
3. Loaded it as instructed (7:1-5)
4. Stayed until God said to leave
(8:6-19)
B. Noah didn’t listen to his mind:
1. He pursued the vision without a
second recorded thought.
2. “Principles of Vision”
C. Noah didn’t listen to his critics:
1. “God told you to do what?”
2. “Rain”
3. “Flood”
4. “How many animals”
5. “Out here?”
III. After the Call’s Completion:
A. They were spared from the demise suffered
by others (7:17-23).
1. The people died (7:23).
2. The animals died (7:23).
B. They were given the world and everything
in it (9:1-3)
C. They were given accountability (9:5-6).
D. God put a rainbow in the cloud (9:8-17).
1. Where do you stand among a wicked nation? Finding
favor in the eyes of God? (Romans 12:1-2, 1 Peter
13-16)
2. What are you doing about the will of God for your
life?(Ephesians 2:8-9, Matthew 7:15-20)
3. How do you respond to “nay-sayers” in your life?
(2 Thessalonians 2:13-15, 1 Timothy 4:11-12)
4. What rewards are you expecting from God?
(2 Timothy 4:6-7, 1 Corinthians 3:5-8)
