TEXT: Genesis 6:5-8
In this series of messages we have been taking a look at the history of our spiritual family.
This morning we find ourselves taking a look at Noah.
We are all descendants of Noah.
What do you think of when you think of the story of Noah?
When I think of the story of Noah, I think of both God's judgment and His mercy.

God told Noah that he would never again destroy the earth by water, when in Genesis 9:11 He said,
I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by waters of the flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.
Genesis 9:11

I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
Genesis 9:13

Although God said that the earth would never be destroyed by water, He HAS promised that it will one day be destroyed by fire.
And then and there, just like we are going to read today, there will be a demonstration of God's judgment and His mercy.
See, the Bible is not just a collection of stories that are not connected to one another together by man in order to create a religion.
It is a story of redemption; from Genesis to Revelation there is a common theme that we see where God is continually demonstrating His mercy and His judgment.
Just as we have seen the beginning of this story unfold over the last couple of weeks, there will come a day when it will all ...
