Today we will pull out Noah -
If Noah could run a lap with you, what would he say?
Don’t miss the boat
Plan ahead… 120 years to build the boat
The wood peckers on the inside are worse than the storms on the outside.
You might want to tell him something…
Why didn’t you swat those 2 mosquitos while you had the chance?
Let’s look at Noah from the Bible
Biblical history is about 6000 years.
4,000 years bc and 2000 AD.
Noah is 10th generation from Adam… 1000 years after Adam.
At that time the earth was different.
It had not become corrupted by sin.
Heaven is not a place where we will be floating around.
God says there will be a new heaven and earth.
It’s possible that the earth will be restored to the place it was when Adam was in the garden.
At the time of Noah, everything was sustained by springs… it had never rained.
We will come back to an earth that was restored to it’s pre-sin condition.
In it’s pre-sin condition, the earth needed no rain.
Everything was sustained with fresh springs… that’s why you see people living so long.
Noah lived to be 950 years.
At 500, he had Shem, Ham and Japeth.
People lived a long time.
Without sin, people lived a long time.
His grandfather lived 960 years.
The earth was a better place then and it will be restored… no rainy days and Mondays…
After Noah, life spans began to decrease to the point it is today.
Some folks thin this sounds like a fairy tale.
I believe Gen is literal.
Joke: Teacher and child who said Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
What if Jonah didn’t go to heaven… then you ask him.
What would Noah say?
One Person can make a Difference!
This message is for all of you that think you don’t matter… that you can’t make a difference.
As it was in the days of Noah
Human traffic
Kids killed for organ harvesting
Economic immorality
Immorality...
Violence
Abortion
We live in a wicked culture.
Jesus said in the last days…
I know that we want the nice gospel.... but even through the NT, there is a message that there is a day of judgement coming.
Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.
Noah would say that one person can make a difference because he did.
I don’t want us to live our lives not worrying about the wickedness.
We may not be adding to the wickedness, but we are doing a lot about it.
If we are not careful, we will think this is about us… it’s not.
You can make a difference… here are three areas you can.
Making a Difference
1.
You can make a difference for your family.
Not the family you think…
Your life affects people around us.
Noah alone was righteous and he impacted his family.
household - oikos - impact your sphere of influence.
If you will get saved, you will impact your sphere of influence.
work, school, ball games, friends, 12-17 people...
Your salvation isn’t just about you… it’s not supposed to be personal where you don’t talk about it.
Jesus said to let your life shine.
ILL - of someone coming to Christ through us.
You can make a difference in your family.
2.
You can make a difference for your generation.
You have a responsibility to your generation.
One of the devils’ tricks is to make you think that’s not what your life is about.
He will try to convince you that life is about you enjoying your life.
He wants that, but his purpose is for you to make a difference in your generation.
You may be thinking… tell me something I don’t know… go deep.
That’s not even what church is about...
Church is a half time locker room talk.
We want to get you back out on the playing field and in the game to win.
ILL - of wearing glasses.
see clearly
We want to stor you to make a difference in your own generation.
3.
You can make a difference for God.
God is looking for people he can enlist to make a difference for him.
God is looking for someone to make a difference in this generation.
Sometimes it’s hard to find people.
I just want him to use us...
Noah would say… your generation looks just like mine.
Noah’s Words of Encouragement
Don’t be afraid to stand out in a crowd.
Why? Chances are is that God will ask you to do something that is against the flow.
To be a difference maker we have to be different.
The reason a lot of us don’t make a difference is that we are not different,
Noah - he was building a boat and it had never rained.
Probably easy at first, but imagine around year 87
Don’t be afraid to stand out in the crowd...
when your friends are doing things that displease God
When everyone else is doing it
you are at a movie and it’s worse than you thought
when your friends are telling a dirty joke
when your friends come up and gossip.
when you get pressure to be dishonest at work...
Don’t be afraid to stand out in a crowd.
It’s hard to live righteous in an unrighteous environment and we are in one.
Honetsly, the church doesn’t even blink an eye at it anymore.
It’s time for the church to make a difference.
Don’t be afraid to do something for the first time.
God will ask you to do something you have never done before.
