Genesis: In the Beginning - Genesis 6 - Reading Noah with Jesus: Lessons of Grace, Judgment, and Renewal
The sermon delves into the Noah story, encouraging us to read it thoughtfully and carefully, as Jesus would, aiming to grow more like Him. It highlights how the God of Israel, unlike other ancient gods, relates lovingly to His creation, which informs our relationship with Him today. The sermon also addresses the difficult reality of destruction in the Noah story, teaching us about God's stance on evil and corruption. It underscores that the Noah story sets a pattern seen throughout Scripture, ultimately leading to Jesus, emphasizing themes like new creation, atonement, righteousness, and the transformation from disorder to order. Finally, it stresses the significance of God remembering Noah, reminding us that God remembers and works in our lives to bring renewal and restoration.
1. We read the Bible, first and foremost, as followers of Jesus. This means that we engage with the Scriptures like Jesus engages with the Scriptures, thoughtfully, carefully, slowly, and with the goal of becoming more like him. How do we read the Noah story like Jesus? How does engaging with the story of Noah make us more like Jesus?
2. The God of Israel is so unlike the other ancient near eastern gods, especially in terms of how he relates to his creation. Why does this matter in the Noah story and what does it mean for how we relate to God today?
3. How do we approach the difficult reality of the destruction in the Noah story? What do we learn about God and his feelings toward evil and corruption?
4. In what ways does the Noah story establish a pattern found through the rest of Scripture, culminating ultimately in the person of Jesus? Consider the following themes in the Noah story: new creation, atonement, righteousness, sacrifice, the condition of hearts, sacred space, disorder to order.
5. Why is it significant that God remembers Noah? Do you believe that he remembers you and that his Spirit is moving in your life to bring newness, order, and restoration?
