OPEN SERVICE: Devotional reading, desire to be healthy?
If you WANT to be physically healthy, you will make decisions reflecting that
If you WANT to be spiritually healthy, you will make decisions reflecting that
OPENING HYMN - How has He made you glad?
Quick words of testimony
MESSAGE - REMEMBERING THE LORD
ILLUST: Anyone married?
Have children?
Did you have to think about that?
Remembering: Focus on a beginning of a relationship, with current responsibility, with future promise
Not a Fairy Tale - The Flood Account
1) More questions answered
Where did all the water come from?
40 days/nights (literal days)
(So let’s see, if 6 day creation = 4.5 billion years, then 40 days = 30 billion years)
From below the earth, from above the earth - God’s creation evidence remains
110 more days of water covering the earth, ark rests on day 150
What about the rocks that are dated to MYA?
If you understand radiocarbon dating, if a rock is millions of years old, there would be ZERO Carbon 14. Diamonds are said to be millions of years old, and C14 is detected.
Day 371 - out from the ark, dry land
And Noah sacrifices - sweet aroma lifted
ASIDE - our sacrifice is to be a sweet aroma to God - we should smell great, spiritually!
Lesson for us, shown in Romans 12:2 - a living sacrifice
2) The Rainbow - GOD’s Rainbow
Did you know a rainbow is actually a circle?
Note the promise - READ
Reminder to GOD - “I will see”
Time to take it back - always remember Gen.9:13 when you see one
Always remember Gen. 9:13 when you see it misused, misrepresented
God must cringe when He sees the rainbow linked to something he forbids
(ASIDE: People make choices, and we love people, we are to love people, but that does not EVER mean that we celebrate alongside - to do so is to set God’s Word aside)
3) God “REMEMBERED”
Defined - God kept Noah in the forefront of His mind
Just as He does with any and every follower
(NOT - “Oh, wait, I forgot about Noah…”)
When God “remembers,” He is
Mindful of the past entry into a relationship
Currently focused on maintaining that relationship
Never wavering on the future promise, part of that relationship
Marriage/Children
There was a past entry into a covenant relationship
There is a current focus on maintaining that relationship
Future implications
Marriage - till death do we part
Children - Raise for God’s glory, teach, admonish, and pray (then they leave, cleave, and start their own cov.
relationship)
God REMEMBERED:
Noah
His People
COOLNESS ALERT!
When God “remembers” it is always followed by demonstration that he never forgets, or forgot - HE DELIVERS
A great theme woven through Scripture: REDEMPTION, DELIVERANCE
He remembers Noah - and delivers - causes a wind to blow, land dries
He remembers His people in Egypt - and delivers - 10 plagues result, parting of the Red Sea, water from rock, manna, quail
God remembered Noah, His people, and now…YOU
God offers redemption
Sinners in need of salvation
He offered deliverance - by remembering what He said in Gen 3:15
Then it came time for Jesus to bruise the head of Satan- on the cross
Jesus/God remembered the offer - then He delivered
And darkness fell for three hours, earthquakes, dead rose from grave, temple curtain tore from top to bottom
When God “remembers” it is always followed by demonstration that he never forgets, or forgot - HE DELIVERS
And in these cases, He commands nature (I feel sorry for those people who worship nature/self)
The result? a promise made to the prophet Jeremiah
To be saved, to be “in Christ” (in the ark), means that God is no longer focused on your sin, but on your future in glory with Him
CLOSING CHALLENGE:
Do you “remember” the Lord?
Communion today, we do in remembrance of Him - DO YOU?
Did you truly enter that relationship He offered?
Are you actively working on maintaining a great relationship with the Lord?
Is your life focused on this world, or on your citizenship in that place that Jesus is preparing for you?
When you become a believer, and can now “remember” the Lord, God again shows His supernatural aspect, you become a new creation
God made a promise to Himself - never again destroy the earth by Flood
But He will come again, and this time, fire
God remembered Noah, He remembers His people
Those He “remembers” will be spared His wrath and judgment
We like God remembering us.
He’d like us to remember Him (see slide 1 Cor 11:25 for emphasis)
