“HE WILL BE THE SURE FOUNDATION FOR YOUR TIMES, A RICH STORE OF SALVATION AND WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE; THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS THE KEY TO THIS TREASURE.”

ISAIAH 33:6 NIV

In this final sermon of the series, Noah: Found Favor, we explore how God's faithfulness endures even when life is hard, silent, or unexpected—just as He remembered Noah in the flood. Discover how God's character, not our circumstances or perfection, is the unshakable foundation of His promises.

This message explores the sobering reality of God’s wrath through the story of the flood. God's wrath is not impulsive anger but His righteous judgment against sin.

Before the flood, God showed great patience—giving 120 years for people to repent and sending Noah as a preacher of righteousness. But when that patience was ignored, judgment came.

Three key truths:

1. God’s wrath is part of His perfect character — He is both loving and just.
2. God’s wrath reveals His justice — He responds rightly to sin.
3. God’s wrath follows ignored patience — God waits, but not forever.

The flood reminds us: judgment is real, but so is grace. Just as Noah found refuge in the ark, we find our salvation in Christ. God is patient, not wanting anyone to perish — but urging us to repent before it’s too late.

In this powerful episode, we journey into the heart of a mother’s unwavering faith and courage through the story of Jochebed—the mother of Moses. At a time when fear reigned and the future of her newborn son seemed doomed, Jochebed acted with bold trust in God. Her quiet defiance of Pharaoh’s decree and her wise, faith-filled decisions not only saved her child but also played a crucial role in God’s redemptive plan for Israel.

Through Scripture and reflection, we uncover the timeless truth: when faith overcomes fear, God does what only He can do. Whether you’re a parent, a leader, or simply walking through uncertain times, this episode will inspire you to trust God's purpose—even when the waters seem deep.

Tune in and be encouraged by the legacy of a mother whose faith changed history.

Why was Noah chosen to build the ark? In this episode, we unpack how God's grace—not Noah's perfection—was the starting point of his story. Through Noah’s obedience, righteousness, and faithful walk with God, we see that grace changes lives, gives greater purpose, and always involves faith. Discover how the same grace that saved Noah invites us into God's redemptive plan today.

In this episode, we explore the story of Noah through the lens of God's holiness as revealed in Genesis 6:1-13. Why would a good and loving God choose to wipe out nearly all of humanity? By examining what God saw, what He felt, and who He is, we uncover the seriousness of sin and the unshakable purity of a holy God—and why Noah's obedience mattered then, and still speaks to us today.

Jesus was a phenomenal story teller. He knew just how to speak to the hearts of people through his stories, and today PJ walks us through three of Jesus's stories to illustrate how Jesus sees us so clearly and lovingly to this day. 

Jesus's fellowship with the lost was driven by his understanding of their condition, their past, and their potential for redemption. 

Listen in to hear Jesus's stories about the lost sheep, lost coin, and lost son. 

One of the primary things God created us for is for a community of Godly friendships that point us to Jesus Christ. Rich, Godly, satisfying, meaningful friendships. PJ uses the story of Barnabus & Paul from Acts 9 to illustrate how we could be just one biblical community away from changing the course of our destiny.  Then PJ pulls from David's story three friends that helped David become who God wanted him to be. Listen in to learn about these friends and take an inventory of your community? Are you rich in Godly friendships?

"He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm." Proverbs 13:20. 

We have a special message today where Owen Githanga with Compassion International joins PJ to discuss being rich in good deeds. One good deed transformed Owen's life, and introduced Owen to Jesus Christ. In a previous message in this series PJ gave us the good news and bad news that we are rich. Now using Paul's words in 1 Timothy 6:17-19 we are learning how to identify distractions and leverage our riches for the honor and glory of Christ Jesus. 

Key Thought: We are not saved by good deeds, but for good deeds. 

My Good Deeds....

1. Should Point to God

2. Will Glorify God Through His Church

Listen in to hear the message, Owen's story, and learn about Collective's new partnership with Compassion International. 

Listen in as Pastor PJ Noland shares the truths of being a rich giver. Rich givers embody the principle that it is "more blessed to give than to receive," demonstrating generosity through bountiful, intentional, spiritual, joyful, and trusting giving. Biblical teachings emphasize that honoring God with wealth leads to abundant blessings, as seen in the example of the Macedonian churches that gave beyond their means in times of trial. Ultimately, obedient giving is not just a transaction but a transformation that enriches both the giver and the community.
