(Genesis 7–8) Elder Evangelist Wm. Leverett

Opening Focus

• Begin with prayer and thanksgiving.

Key Scriptures

Teaching Highlights

• Obedience precedes deliverance. Noah moved when God spoke.
• Judgment is real, but mercy is greater. The same waters that destroyed also lifted the ark.
• God remembers His people. Even in isolation, His covenant stands.
• Worship follows deliverance. Noah’s first act after the flood was thanksgiving.
• Covenant guarantees stability. “Seedtime and harvest shall not cease.”

Supporting Scriptures

• Matthew 24:38–39 – As in the days of Noah.
• Psalm 91:1 – Safety in God’s presence.
• Isaiah 54:9–10 – Covenant of peace will not be removed.
• Romans 6:23 – Wages of sin is death; gift of God is eternal life.

Practical Application

• Build your “ark” — a life of obedience and faith.
• Trust God’s timing; He shuts doors to protect, not punish.
• Remember: storms reveal who’s anchored in God.
• Worship after every deliverance — gratitude keeps covenant alive.

Closing Reflection

“The LORD sat upon the flood; yea, the LORD Is King forever.” — Psalm 29:10 God’s protection is not temporary; His covenant is eternal. Encourage listeners to walk in obedience, faith, and gratitude — just as Noah did.
