A New World and an Old Nature (17 of 61)
In the Beginning
Pastor Jeff Schreve
Primary Scripture: Genesis 9:18-29
If you have your Bible, please turn to Genesis chapter 9. We've been studying verse-by-verse through the Book of Genesis. And today, we're going to finish the life of Noah. Noah is a very important person in the Old Testament, and his story and his span and his era are very important because Jesus said that the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. Well, we know that in Noah's days the world was wicked beyond belief, and God destroyed the world with a flood. I was talking to Erwin Lutzer just last week about his new book that he.

So, he said, "From that standpoint, no, but from the standpoint of wickedness, yes." And he said, "You know, when you read in the Book of Genesis even in Noah's day, as wicked as it was, they still knew the difference between girls and boys." And he said, "Our world is so reprobate that we don't even know the difference, and we argue over things that don't even make sense from a basic biological standpoint." So, Noah is a key person in Scripture. And we're going to see the end of his life. He lived a long time, 950 years. Lived 350 years after the flood. And the Bible doesn't tell us a lot about him in terms of afte ...
