Sunday Recap!!!
Wow. Imagine this...the SPOT Blog update is here on time. My apologies for the Blog being empty the past two weeks for personal reasons. During that time a couple of birthdays got missed while the new server was down. I missed Keith Cole's birthday on the 17the of July, and Rich Conrad's on the 25th. Sorry guys!
Lesson Recap
This lesson was about Noah, and dogged determination. In Noah's time, things were so corrupt that God decided they had to go. This included animals as well as people. One of the main points of the story is Noah, and his obedience in carrying out God's instructions to build an ark.
In Genesis 6:9 we are told that Noah is a righteous man. We are led to see this in his heritage which is listed in Gen 5: 21-32. How important is is to pass our teens the spiritual torch?
Noah was given the task of building the ark by grace. Grace in saving Noah and his family. God gave Noah specific instructions on how to build the ark. As usual, God had a perfect plan! See some of God's other specific examples in Mt 5:43-44, Jn 9:11, and Mt 28:19.
Noah was 500 years old when he became a father, and 600 years old when the rains began. Many of the years in between were spent building the ark.What steps can we take to have the steadfastness on Noah? Do you think he ever grew weary of his task?
The results of all this were amazing. First there was the Covenant found in Gen 9:12-17. which was the first covenant ever. Then there was the burnt offering that Noah offered without any instructions from God, and pleased God very much.
