In this sermon from Genesis 9:18-28, we see God's divine wisdom in preserving the full story of Noah—not just his ark-building righteousness, but his shameful drunkenness too. These uncomfortable truths reveal that disobedience is guaranteed even for the most faithful servants, just as death eventually comes to all. Our heroes will inevitably disappoint us with their humanity, but this doesn't diminish their spiritual impact. Rather, it reminds us that only Jesus stands as the perfect, sinless hero who offers redemption from both our sins and our mortality. Through Him, destruction becomes optional, and we're invited to extend the same covering grace to others that God extends to us—remembering people not by their failures but by their faith, just as Hebrews 11 remembers Noah not as a drunk, but as a man of righteousness and reverent fear.
