New stuff / Change
Scary times.
On Chad’s last Sunday with us.
Scary for them
Scary for us.
What will happen?
What if something goes wrong?
Don’t you think Noah felt some of these emotions.
By faith Noah built an ark as commanded by God.
Admirable.
(ESV) Hebrews 11 7 By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household.
By this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.
And then everything changed.
The flood came.
I wonder how he felt on board that boat.
Noah began by faith.
But now, in the face of the chaos, he needed fresh faith.
Would the Lord who called him to build and enter the boat, be able to deliver on His promises?
Let’s continue to look at the story.
The Lord brought judgment on the world.
Would He be able to create a new beginning?
Genesis 8:1-9:20 Fresh beginnings / A new start
Fresh Beginnings – Founded in faith in God
Question to resolve during times that require faith
Does He care?
(ESV) Genesis 8 1 But God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the livestock that were with him in the ark.
…
Is He really the God who He has said that He is?
Of course He cares / He remembers Noah – never forgot Him
(ESV) Hebrews 11 6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists (IS) and that he rewards those who seek him.
Is He at work when not seen?
(ESV) Genesis 8 1 … And God made a wind blow over the earth, and the waters subsided.
2 The fountains of the deep and the windows of the heavens were closed, the rain from the heavens was restrained, 3 and the waters receded from the earth continually.
At the end of 150 days the waters had abated,
A long period unfolds.
Almost half a year transpires.
In a boat without any real access to see what is happening.
Is He still at work?
Long before it is obvious, the Lord is at work preparing for what will be ahead
(ESV) Hebrews 11 1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
Will there be a new beginning?
(ESV) Genesis 8 4 and in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
5 And the waters continued to abate until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.
Ultimately, the Lord brings about a new beginning
(ESV) Hebrews 11 6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists (IS) and that he rewards those who seek him.
Fresh Beginnings – Unfolded in His time frame
The Lord doesn’t work according to our time frame.
His goal is to grow us / build faith in us / cause us to trust Him alone.
Often this involves times.
Yes we trust Him – but do we still trust Him tomorrow?
Next week?
Next year?
Discerning the time **
A need to operate in His time frame.
Noah waits for Him
(ESV) Genesis 8 6 At the end of forty days Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made 7 and sent forth a raven.
It went to and fro until the waters were dried up from the earth.
8 Then he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters had subsided from the face of the ground.
9 But the dove found no place to set her foot, and she returned to him to the ark, for the waters were still on the face of the whole earth.
So he put out his hand and took her and brought her into the ark with him.
10 He waited another seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.
11 And the dove came back to him in the evening, and behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf.
So Noah knew that the waters had subsided from the earth.
12 Then he waited another seven days and sent forth the dove, and she did not return to him anymore.
40 days resting in one place on the mountain.
Open up the windows to let the fresh air in
Let in some air – not yet
Raven – needs only some places to land / eat the rotting flesh / live in the muddy mess – not yet
Dove – discriminating and sensitive / conditions must be right – 2 weeks go by before it does not come back – not yet
Seeing the new adventure
Glimpsed that everything is now new
(ESV) Genesis 8 13 In the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried from off the earth.
And Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and behold, the face of the ground was dry.
14 In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth had dried out.
Open the door --- behold dry – two more months - not yet
New world / same but different / contemplate what is ahead
Responding when directed
Continued to act as God commanded.
Time to stop thinking about it - do it
(ESV) Genesis 8 15 Then God said to Noah, 16 “Go out from the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons’ wives with you.
17 Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh—birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth—that they may swarm on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth.”
18 So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him.
19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, everything that moves on the earth, went out by families from the ark.
Time to start again / leave the past and move forward / Go
Noah went --- others followed
Fresh Beginnings – Centered in Him
