After the flood God brought over the earth, He created a new world for Noah and his family to repopulate. God told Noah to be fruitful and multiply on the earth. Pastor Bill explains today that this isn’t just referring to physically multiplying people on earth. There is a deeper meaning that reaches all the way to you. God longs for all to hear and know His good news. God calls you grow and multiply on earth new believers in Him. Pray for, disciple, witness and guide believers to expand those who will be in the family of God.

After the waters receded and the dove returned to the ark with an olive leaf, Noah left the ark with God’s guidance and entered an entirely new world. Pastor Bill teaches today that Noah recognized the incredible power of God to provide direction and protection to the faithful, execute complete judgement and completely carry out His plan to give the world a new start. Pastor Bill emphasizes Noah’s right reaction to God’s faithfulness to him and his family. He immediately worshiped and sacrificed freely from all he had left.

If you’re a believer, sealed in Christ’s salvation, you have the very spirit of God in you. But do you have the Holy Spirit on you - guiding you and giving you His power to do the will of God? Today, Pastor Bill explains to you the difference of having the Holy Spirit in you and upon you. Receiving the power of the Holy Spirit upon you is a daily, active seeking of his power, guidance, wisdom and help. It is not passive! You must intentionally recognize your need, and reach out to receive it. Don’t try to do the work of God without it!

The waters rose and the storm raged on. The mountains disappeared. Life felt crazy and out of control on that boat. But God remembered Noah. He never left him or gave up. He was with Noah as His judgement on earth prevailed. Pastor Bill wants to remind you today that God remembers you. In the middle of every storm and in the midst of calm moments, He remembers you. He cares so deeply about you and will never leave or forsake you. God will use these moment in your life in ways you can’t even imagine!

The ark is a picture of Christ. It is a picture of salvation offered to those who have faith to come in. The door is closed, you are safe and secure in salvation by faith. However, just as the ark was tossed by storms, turbulent waters and rocking winds, salvation life is not a pleasure cruise. Pastor Bill will remind you today that the Christian life isn’t smooth sailing. It may go where you don’t want to go. Though you may not feel safe, and you may even feel like you’re drowning, life in Christ allows you to face the storms with peace and purpose.

God gave Noah inside information. Judgement was coming. It was sure. So, he got to work in obedience and faith. His message to others about how to find salvation was rejected. Today, Pastor Bill reminds you that you, too, have inside information. There is another judgement coming. God has said it, so it is sure. Scoffers will doubt you and will not find salvation. But you must, in faith and obedience, work. Work to get others inside for salvation. Don’t give up. Don’t lose faith. God’s grace isn’t over yet.

We’re in the final countdown before the world is over – it is condemned to destruction because of sin like in the days of Noah. God told Noah to build. And without delay, he did. He started the work to save His family. He worked hard for 120 years, trusting God’s plan and for the strength to complete his work. Pastor Bill will encourage you today to imitate Noah. Have faith and trust what God asks you. Work with what He gives you. Work tirelessly to save your family. Start now.

In the instructions God gave Noah on building the ark, he told him to cover it in pitch. This word in scripture is also translated in other places in the word as atonement, reconciliation, and forgiveness. Today, Pastor Bill describes the beautiful parallel between the salvation of the ark and the salvation Jesus provides. It requires faith to do work God asks you to do and trust in God’s timing. You must choose to get on board! But if you’re in, then you are safe and sealed for salvation!

Every Christian at some point in time has asked the question: “What's God's will for my life?”. As Pastor Bill continues his teaching series through the Book of Genesis, he'll be challenging you to obey what God has already revealed to you. In obeying the obvious will of God for your life, He'll give you further direction and revelation. God gave Noah a command, and the Bible say's Noah wholly obeyed the Lord, and then God gave Noah further instruction and insight into His will for him.

The world, the flesh, and the devil are constantly barraging you with deceptions and play on your emotions on a daily basis. The Bible say's the heart is deceitfully wicked, who can know it? Today, Pastor Bill will be challenging you to renew your mind in the world of God daily, because the spiritual battle takes place in your mind. The enemy of your soul is relentlessly trying to corrupt your thoughts because your thoughts transform into behavioral patterns. These wrong behavioral patterns end up becoming bad habits!
