Fusion: week of 10/4

 FAMILY THEME: STARTING OVER

Genesis 6:1 - 7:5

By the time of Noah, humanity had become so corrupt

that God would destroy the world in judgment. 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.

✞   Sin Grieves God

     (Genesis 6:5-7)

     God is emotionally invested in humankind, so

     when we resort to evil thoughts and actions,

     it grieves His heart.

✞   Faith and Right Living Please God

     (Genesis 6:8 - 7:5)

     Noah was a faithful man whose life backed up

     his faith, causing him to find favor with God.

     God used Noah's obedience to provide an

     escape from the consequences of judgment.
