Noah is like Adam in several ways. And that means that Noah isn't perfect and doesn't do everything right. This is not only a look at Noah's shame, but also a look at how Noah's sons responded to it, and how we should respond when people around us sin. Pastor Kevin Craft

When David spares Saul, he is trusting the Lord and waiting on God to work. He is not going to sin in order to get to the result that God wants. Pastor Kevin Craft

When Noah stepped off of the ark, he stepped onto the same world that we live in today. And at the beginning of this new world, God shows us how life is supposed to work then and now. Pastor Kevin Craft

David is still on the run, but he gets encouragement from Jonathan and direction from God. This chapter also shows the extent of God's knowledge - He knows everything that does happen and everything that might happen. Pastor Kevin Craft

Jesus says that the world before the flood is what the world will be like before He returns. So when we read about Noah, he sets an example for us and reminds us how we are delivered from judgment. Pastor Kevin Craft

How do I know if God wants me to be a missionary? And what is the profile of a missionary? Pastor Kevin Craft
