  1. The Flood Genesis 6

  2. Think Do you believe the “stories” in the Bible? Have you ever met someone who didn’t believe in the Bible’s miracles?

  3. Gen. 6:1-5 “The Lord saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time.” Deep Depravity

  4. The Slide into a “Depraved Mind” • Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. • They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. • Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.Romans 1:28-32 (NIV) = “emptiness” Peer Pressure!

  5. What is a “Depraved Mind” ? “Worthless: used up, wasted, empty, living dead…”

  6. Decline into Depravity: How? • 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days - and also afterward - when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. • See Job, Psalms: “Sons of God” = Angels • Jude 1:6; 2 Pet. 2:4 And angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day, Jude 1:6 (NASB95) The Knowledge of God was gone!

  7. Only Noah Believed! • V. 8 “But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.” • God’s Plan: v.13-17 • Not a Myth…

  8. The Flood: What Proof? • OsiferousFissures: cracks filled with bones. • Siberian Mammoths • Sociological Evidence: Sumarian, Babalonian, Assyrians, Egyptians, Greeks… • Arameans, Hindus, Chinese, Hawaiins, Mexican Indians, Aboriginese, Batracks, Fiji Islanders, Polynesians, Sudanese, New Guineans, New Zealanders, Celts of Wales, Hottentotts… • Over 270 Global Accounts !!! All Claim 1 Family is Saved Agreeing On the Numbers! All Widely Dispersed, no contact!

  9. Compare to Belief in ‘Alien Life’ • 1,000 Respondents, 60% Believe Aliens Exist Center for Survey and Research Analysis at the University of Connecticut: commissioned by the National Geographic Channel • PROOF? • Still, Millions of $$ Spent on “Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute” (SETI)

  10. The Flood: What Proof? • OsiferousFissures: cracks filled with bones. • Siberian Mammoths • Sociological Evidence: Sumarian, Babalonian, Assyrians, Egyptians, Greeks… • Is God powerful enough…?

  11. A Picture of God and Mankind • 1 Peter 3:20-21 The Ark was Salvation from God’s Judgment • vs.21 Christ is also Salvation from Judgment 1 Peter 3:20-21 those who disobeyed God long ago when God waited patiently while Noah was building his boat. Only eight people were saved from drowning in that terrible flood. And that water is a picture of baptism, which now saves you, not by removing dirt from your body, but as a response to God from a clean conscience. It is effective because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 3:20-21 those who disobeyed God long ago when God waited patiently while Noah was building his boat. Only eight people were saved from drowning in that terrible flood.

  12. A Picture of God and Mankind • 1 Peter 3:20-21 The Ark was Salvation from God’s Judgement • vs.21 Christ is also Salvation from Judgement • John 5:24 "I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes Him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.”

  13. The Bad News… • Gen. 7:16 “The Lord shut him in.” • The Door was Sealed Shut… • There are Limits to Free Choice • Gen. 6:3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal;”

  14. The Good News… • He provides ample opportunity to choose! • For He says, “In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation. • It Means We MUST Choose! Matt. 12:30-31. “Anyone who isn’t with me opposes me, and anyone who isn’t working with me is actually working against me. Matthew 12:30 (NLT)

  15. (God’s a drag!?) (You’re smarter!?) Lies! Lies! “since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind…” Lies! God’s Light (God’s unimportant!?) Lies! Lies! (Your Creator!? It won’t change anything?) Lies! (A good reason to drop it!?) (You know that much!?)

  16. Calluses… Calluses… Calluses… God’s Light “…become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity…”

  17. The Good News… “Most importantly, I want to remind you that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking the truth and following their own desires.” 2 Peter 3:3 • Some will be glad! • 2 Peter 2:5, 9 … So God protected Noah when he destroyed the world of ungodly people with a vast flood… So you see, the Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their trials. • 2 Tim. 3:12 “Noah is insane!”

  18. The End
