GOD REMEMBERS NOAH

Passage: Genesis 8:1-22

Key verse: 1

 

1. God remembers Noah (1-17)

After destroying the sinful world with a flood, God remembered Noah. God sent

a wind to make the waters recede, and the ark came to rest on a mountaintop,

which safely cradled the ark while the earth dried out. Noah sent out a raven and

a dove. When the dove brought back an olive leaf, hope sprung in Noah’s heart.

The second time, the dove did not return, but Noah waited until God commanded

them to come out of the ark. Then God blessed them to be fruitful and multiply

and renewed life on earth through them.

 

2. Noah thanked God (18-22)

One year after he entered the ark, Noah came out onto dry land. Noah’s first

act was to build an altar and sacrifice a burnt offering to thank God for saving his

family from judgment. God smelled the pleasing aroma of Noah’s offering and

accepted it. God knew the fundamental problem of sin was not solved in man’s

heart, but because of Noah’s faith, God promised he would never destroy the

world by a flood and that the seasons would never fail.

 

Prayer Lord, thank you for remembering your servants and preserving us as a

holy remnant.

One Word God remembers those who trust in him
