FAMILY THEME: NOAH OBEYED GOD

Genesis 6:5-22;  7:1-5

By the time of Noah humanity had become so corrupt that God would

destroy the world in judment. Yet even in the midst of great wickedness

there was a man who found grace in the sight of God - Noah. Noah's

faith in God led him to obey God and be saved from the judgment to

come.
