God Can Destroy Everything On Earth!
Contributed by Paul Clemente on Nov 12, 2022 (message contributor)
See Hebrews 11:7 – What can we learn from this? - faith includes God's instructions and obedience
God gave Noah a huge task (almost an impossibility to load up all sorts of animals and necessities in 7 days!) We do not note God indicating to Noah that God was going to help, but we note that Noah obeyed. What can we learn from this? – Nothing is impossible with God but we must obey.
Focusing on Genesis 7: 17- 24: For 40 days the flood kept coming. How? – there were plenty of waters from within the earth and above the earth (likely waters noted from Genesis 1:2)
The ark floated; and so, everything in the ark couldn’t drown.
What’s significant about v19? – the flood happened quickly and placed the entire earth underwater!
How deep was the flood? – 20 feet over every land on earth!
v24: The earth was flooded for 150 days? What do you think is significant about this? – 5 months is plenty to drown everything; Noah and his family had time to think about the power of God and their total dependence on God!
From v21-23, what died? – every living creature not in the ark died from the flood!
Who was left alive? – Noah and his family along with all the creatures on earth
Biblical principles from this passage we can note? – God can destroy everything on earth but can have love to save those who obey Him!

The Grace Of God
Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Aug 14, 2017
God's grace as the avenue of salvation is sometimes seen as being in conflict with obedience of the believer as a requirement, without which salvation cannot be obtained. Which is it, or is it a combination? Can this dichotomy be satisfactorily resolved?
