Last Sunday, the minister referenced the movie Noah in his sermon. When he did, you could almost sense the congregation sitting up and taking notice. He was talking about the world in which they live!
If I were still pastoring, I’m sure I would be preaching a sermon or two on Noah right about now. Here are just a few possible lessons to draw out of that story:
- JUDGMENTS: Using a New Testament passage like 2 Peter 3:3-10, “By these waters also the world of that time was destroyed. By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire…” etc.
- The need to fear God more than to fear man
- Following God sometimes means standing all alone
- God’s eye is not blind to the righteous. Maybe a text like 2 Chronicles 16:9, “For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.”
- Faithfulness—God’s and Noah’s
- The importance of OBEDIENCE
- The tendency of God to allow for SECOND CHANCES
Well, you get the idea, anyway!
Because this movie will be in the video stores for some time, the window of time should be open for some months!
