Noah lived among a wicked and perverse generation, yet the Bible tells us that Noah obeyed all that God commanded of him. His righteousness shines like a beacon of light in the darkness, and his testimony challenges us to do the same. God instructed Noah to build an ark to rescue any who entered from the wrath God would pour out on the sinful world. His example provides us a picture of how those who are in Christ are rescued from the wrath of God to come. Join us for session three of "By Faith" as we examine the life of Noah and his faithfulness to the Lord.
