Flood on SermonAudio

Genesis 25:1-26 showcases the outworking of God's promise to Abraham to make him the "father of a multitude of nations" (Genesis 17:4). How does God keep His promises? We often make commitments that we are unable to fulfill, sometimes because we can't foresee obstacles that will prevent us from keeping our word. God knows the future, but is there something else that enables Him to keep every promi...

This update explores recent scientific discoveries regarding a boat-shaped rock formation on Mount Ararat, suggesting it may be Noah's Ark, and uses this as a catalyst to discuss the theological parallels between the pre-flood era and the present day. It highlights the widespread wickedness, sexual perversion, and biological mixing of kinds described in Genesis 6 as characteristics that are recurr...

Outline 1. Determined by God 2. Proclaimed by Noah 3. Accomplished in the Flood

This sermon explores the theme of enduring suffering with hope by examining 1 Peter 3:17-22, identifying the atonement and the resurrection of Jesus Christ as the two primary sources of comfort for believers. The text emphasizes that Christ's once-for-all sacrifice for sin removes the guilt and fear associated with unjust persecution, while His ascension to the right hand of God assures believers...

When God looked upon the earth and saw that "all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth" (Genesis 6:12), how did one man find grace in His eyes? Read verse 9 and ask what the words on either side of "perfect in his generations" (Genesis 6:9) tell a reader that phrase means. Then ask whether Noah walked with God because he knew a flood was coming, or whether he had no idea at all. "But Noah fou...

This lesson continues the study of the seven dispensations. It closes out the age of conscience and opens the dispensation of human government, which runs from the flood to Babel. It starts with Noah's burnt offering, which the Lord smelled as a sweet savor, and it draws out the call for believers to present their bodies as a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1-2). It covers God's blessing and commissio...

Abraham's faithful servant found the woman God had appointed to be Isaac's wife in the previous passage, Genesis 24:1-27. His assignment is not complete, however, until he secures the agreement of her family and brings her all the way to her new home in Genesis 24:28-67. There is no doubt that the servant spent much of the return trip extolling the virtues of Isaac to Rebekah, his bride-to-be. The...

This sermon examines the account of Noah's flood in Genesis 7:6 through 8:19, emphasizing the historical reliability of Scripture against allegorical interpretations. Pastor Ryan argues that the New Testament consistently treats Genesis 1-11 as literal history, reinforcing the truth of a global flood that demonstrates God's severe judgment on sin. Through a detailed analysis of the chiasmic struct...

This sermon on Romans 9:22 explores God's sovereign telos—His purpose in fashioning vessels of wrath prepared for destruction—to display His wrath against sin, His power in judgment, and His great patience. Drawing on examples such as Pharaoh, the flood, and Sodom, the preacher shows how God endures the wicked for His glory while upholding both divine sovereignty and human responsibility, calling...

And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan. 19 These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread. 20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: 21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness o...

This sermon explores the renewal of God's original mandate for humanity in Genesis 9, emphasizing that God's purpose for human beings remains unchanged despite the judgment of the flood. The central message asserts that God's primary desire is to bless humanity, a truth that stands in contrast to the cultural narrative that views humans as detrimental to the natural world. By analyzing the imperat...

Genesis 24 is the longest chapter in the book and contains the beautiful story of Abraham's servant seeking a wife for Isaac. The hand of God in providentially arranging circumstances is obvious and we are drawn to the servant's faith and fervent prayer to complete his commission from Abraham. In addition, there are some interesting similarities to the Holy Spirit's role in drawing sinners to Chri...

Genesis 9:1-17 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. 2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. 3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you;...

This sermon examines God's response to Noah's post-flood sacrifice, highlighting the dual nature of His promise to never again destroy the earth by water while affirming the ongoing reality of human depravity. The text argues that the flood did not eradicate original sin, as the wickedness of the human heart remains unchanged from the pre-flood generation, pointing to the necessity of divine grace...

Matthew 24:39 'and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.' The sermon emphasizes the certainty of divine judgment by drawing parallels between the global flood in Noah's day and the future fiery judgment of the world. It warns that life will continue normally until the sudden arrival of Christ, leaving no time for last-minute repentanc...

This sermon explores Psalm 124 as a declaration of divine protection, contrasting the certain death of those without God with the assured life of those who trust in His covenant faithfulness. The text presents four metaphors of destruction—devouring monsters, sweeping floods, grinding teeth, and fowler's snares—to illustrate the vulnerability of humanity apart from divine intervention. By invoking...

Every aspect of our lives should reflect our confidence in God and is evidence that we believe He will fulfill His promises. That even includes the way that we handle the death of loved ones, and that is reflected in Abraham's life in the way that he grieved and made arrangements for Sarah's burial. The care that he showed in making arrangements is evidence of his confidence in a future resurrecti...
