GOD’S WORD
The only thing that changes a person’s relationship with
God is God.
God’s Presence
God’s Power
God’s Promises
Walking with God on a regular basis is God’s way of
unleashing His power, His presence and His promises
into our lives.
BY FAITH NOAH
The faith of works
I am not saying that we are saved by good works,
I’m saying that good works FOLLOW as a result of
our salvation.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new
creation; the old has gone, the new has come!”
2 Cor. 5:17
All the people in God’s Hall of Fame did something that revealed their faith
as genuine.
“Faith without works is dead.” James 2:26
“But someone will say, ‘You have faith; I have deeds.’
Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my
faith by what I do.’” James 2:18
By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save
his family. By his faith he condemned the world and
became heir of the righteousness that
comes by faith.Hebrews 11:7
Genesis 6:8-22 tells the story of Noah, but most important verse is the last, “Thus did Noah; according to all that
God commanded him, so did he.”
NOAH’S FAITH WAS SEEN IN HIS RESPONSE TO
GOD’S WORD.
When Noah heard the Word he stopped everything he was doing and started building the ark and KEPT building it for
over 100 years!
He lived in Mesopotamia, between the Tigris and
Euphrates rivers, but not close to either. It didn’t rain where
he was to build the ark.
He obeyed even though this was a huge craft! The ark was
1 ½ football fields long, as wide as a football field
and 4 stories high!
What was God thinking?
Can you imagine the laughter he had to endure?
“And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was
great in the earth, and that every imagination of the
thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”
Genesis 6:5.
HOW WAS HE ABLE TO DO IT?
Genesis 6:9 states that Noah walked with God.
This thought is also hinted at in the way he listened to
God’s Word about the ark-“in reverence.”
FAITH AND US
The work that God calls us to do is a
long-term task.
The work that God calls us to do in foolish in the eyes of others.
The work that God calls us to do is to a
perverse generation.
The work that God calls us to do involves the salvation
of other people.
The work that God calls us to do is done ONLY by
trusting Him.
Trusting Him to do great things comes only when we
walk with Him!
“We believe that if we just do what the coach
says, we will win.”
Even more true for Christians because Jesus is a
player-coach
