Noah (1 of 9)
Series: Heroes of the Faith
Jim Perdue
Genesis 6-9
Intro/Attention
This morning, I’m starting a brand new series called, Heroes of the Faith. I am really excited to study some great lives from God’s Word. People like Moses, Samson, Ruth, Elijah, Esther, and more. Today, we’re starting with a guy named Noah. We find his story in Genesis. And it is an incredible story.

I told them that the sea would be coming to us, but they would hear none of it. Getting the wood was another problem. There’s a ban on cutting local trees in order to save the Greater Spotted Barn Owl. I tried to convince the environmentalists that I needed the wood to save the owls - but no go!
