We receive guidance from God by His Spirit, by prayer, and by His Word.

This is the final sermon in the series over the Tower of Babel.  In it we conclude our doctrinal statements that arise from the story.  In this we discover how the people responded to the flood judgment, how God responded to the sin of the Tower of Babel, and who is in control.

As we continue our journey through the Bible we come to the story of the Tower of Babel and its doctrinal lessons.  The first lesson we learned from it was that all of mankind is one race.  In this message we will consider two more doctrinal statements.  The first is that death is inevitable.  The second is that mankind's natural inclination is to follow after sin.

In Genesis 10 through 11 the Bible describes the event that answers many doctrinal questions.  The first of them is, "Are we many races, or just one race?"  This message explores the answer to that question.

As we come to the conclusion of our messages around Noah and the flood we will look at two more doctrines that come from this event; God chooses to cleanse sin by blood, and the end times days will be like the days of Noah. 

We had a special service honoring Fathers and Mothers Day this year.  So, my message was built around examples of couples in the Bible who were examples of Godliness.  

Despite the fact that many view the story of Noah and the ark as myth, or at best, a story from the ancient past with little bearing on today, the story of Noah and the ark actually lays the foundation stones for the doctrine that will arise from Scripture. 

The story of Noah and the ark illustrates some basic doctrines of the Bible.  Not the least of them is that salvation comes by grace, through faith.

We come now to the story of Noah and the ark in the book of Genesis.  And there are some foundational truths about salvation that we learn from this story of judgement.

Today we continue to look at the genealogy between Adam and Noah.  There are individuals in that line who illustrate the broad way to destruction; Cain and Lamech.  There are also individuals who illustrate the narrow rad to life; Seth, Enoch, and Noah.
