Seized by the Goodness of God – Exodus 6:1-5
Exodus 6:1-5 Then the Lord said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land. And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the Lord: And…

The Finished Work – Genesis 6:22
Genesis 6:22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he. There is something deeply powerful in that simple line. Noah did not partially obey. He did not build most of the ark and then shrug his shoulders. He did not get tired halfway through and decide that near enough was…

Room Enough for All – Genesis 6:19-21
Genesis 6:19-21 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of…

Genesis 6:16 A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it. This verse is rich. First, there was a window in the ark. Noah…

Built to Ride Above It – Genesis 6:15
Genesis 6:15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. The ark Noah built was not fashioned to slice through the water like some sleek ship. It was built…

Sheltered by Atonement – Genesis 6:14
Genesis 6:14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. This verse is doing far more than giving Noah carpentry instructions. It is quietly telling the story of salvation. The ark was to be made of gopher wood. I do…

When Violence Fills the Earth – Genesis 6:11-13
Genesis 6:11, 12, 13 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the…

Finding Grace in His Eyes – Genesis 6:8-10
Genesis 6:8, 9, 10 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. What a wonderful phrase that is. Noah found grace in the…

The Fallen Ones and a Corrupt Age – Genesis 6:4

The Spirit Will Not Strive Forever – Genesis 6:3
Genesis 6:3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. This is a sobering verse. The Lord says there comes a point when His Spirit will not keep striving with man indefinitely. That does not…

As It Was in Noah’s Day – Genesis 6:1-2
Matthew 24:37-39 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,And knew not until the flood came,…
