  3. Noah & The Flood Gen 6 • A story of salvation • A depraved world vv. 5-7 • God is personally affected by man’s sin • Noah = an “exception” v. 8 Rom 12:2 • God’s plan vv. 13-21 • Specifics sometimes matter vv. 14-16

  4. Noah & The Flood Gen 6 • God’s plan vv. 13-21 • Interested in a covenant with man v. 18 • Noah’s obedience v. 22 • Noah’s faith Heb 11:7

  5. Gen 6:8 Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. Heb 11:7 By faith Noah… For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast. Eph 2:8-9 Thus Noah did; according to all that God had commanded him, so he did. OBEDIENCE

  6. Israel At The Red Sea Ex 14 • A story of redemption • A decisive moment vv. 10-12 • Initial trust, reverence 12:27b-28, 35, 50 • A tough moment now…cynicism, doubt • God’s solution vv. 13, 16, 21-22, 30 • A “plan” man might not choose Isa 55:8-9

  7. Israel At The Red Sea Ex 14 • Israel’s faith Heb 11:29

  8. Ex 14:13 Stand by & see the salvation of the Lord... Heb 11:29 By faith Israel… For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast. Eph 2:8-9 The sons of Israel went through the midst of the sea on the dry land… OBEDIENCE

  9. The Battle Of Jericho Josh 6 • A story of victory • A tremendous challenge v. 1 • A situation already settled with God v. 2 • Israel couldn’t have the city just because God said He had given it to them • Jericho would not have been so impressed

  10. The Battle Of Jericho Josh 6 • God’s instructions vv. 3-5, 8-20 • Might not seem rational, “logical” • Would have been easy to disbelieve, doubt • One thing for certain Ù no matter what our “opinion” is…God expects His will to be respected & obeyed vv. 17-19 7:1-26 • Israel’s faith Heb 11:30

  11. Josh 6:2 I have given Jericho into your hand... Heb 11:30 By faith Israel… For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast. Eph 2:8-9 They marched…blew the trumpets… shouted…went straight ahead OBEDIENCE

  12. Conclusion • Each story illustrates this powerful truth • God’s gracious offer • Man’s faith in what God has said • Man’s obedience is never negated despite the fact God has a gracious offer • POINTÙ grace can have conditions

  13. Conclusion • We desire salvation…need redemption… want victory • The same “formula” (template) must be applied by us to gain God’s gift today • Aspects we might not fully understand? • Hard to rationalize in our own minds?
