About this episode

This episode explores the contrast between Noah's righteousness and the corruption of the world before the flood, emphasizing faith and divine judgment.

As we return to the book of Genesis, we begin the journey toward the flood narrative and the powerful contrast between a corrupt world and one righteous man. In Genesis 6:9–17, Noah stands blameless by faith in the midst of universal wickedness. While all flesh was corrupt and violence filled the earth, God preserved His promised seed through one household. This sermon explores: • The contrast between Noah and a fallen world • Righteousness by faith (not works) • The biological and moral corruption before the flood • The covenant connection between humanity and creation • The ark as a type of Christ • The flood as a picture of divine wrath The flood is not ultimately about water — it is about judgment. Just as the ark bore the storm of God’s wrath and preserved those inside, Jesus Christ bore the wrath of God for all who are united to Him by faith. The question is not “Am I good?” The question is: Are you in the Ark?
