BIG IDEA: God’s heart is all about the one, but it often begins with each of us choosing to be the one.
“The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.” But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.” Genesis 6:5-8 NIV
Your family’s here and now may hinge on your faith and favor - don’t be dissuaded or discouraged!
“...choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord!” Joshua 24:15 NIV
Generations beyond our own deserve our dedication to the cause of CHRIST.
“This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations.” Genesis 9:12 NKJV
Our availability, not our age, is what keeps us from being used greatly by God
“Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.” 1 Timothy 4:12 NIV
“Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came upon the earth.” Genesis 7:6 NIV
Being the first to follow the Lord is worth the risk.
“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 NIV
