Noah Kept on Building

Genesis 6:11-17

The world had become so sinful that the Lord determined to destroy all flesh. Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. He was perfect in his generation. He walked with the Lord. The Lord chose him to carry the message of judgment to come. The Spirit would strive with man for a time and then judgment would come. Man had become very wicked. Every imagination of the heart was only evil continually. The earth was filled with violence (v11). That hits home as we think of all of the violence in our day. Noah’s generation was probably a lot worse than ours, but it hardly seems possible as we hear and read about the news of the violence in our day and time.

I. Noah Kept Building the Ark in Spite of the Depravity.

II. Noah Kept Building the Ark in Spite of the Deceit.

III. Noah Kept Building the Ark in Spite of the Defiance.

Nothing stopped Noah from obeying the Word of God. He just kept building the ark and preaching righteousness. This morning, will you stop? Will we be influenced by this world or will we make an impact on the people around us?

Who do we identify with in this Scriptural account? Noah or those who laughed and scoffed? God’s mercy is great and His grace is marvelous. This morning if you have never experienced the grace of God come and accept Jesus Christ as your Savior. Christian, why not come and commit yourself to a life of obedience regardless of what happens in this world around us?
