Fathers Day 1


Hello Everyone,
 Dads are by no means all powerful, but they are ALL responsible. 

Imagine with me the building of the ark, what it looked like…and how the world must’ve felt about what Noah was preaching. 

Imagine the animals entering, and finally the sky beginning to fall.  Think about what it had to be like inside…and what it would have been like outside! 

What a storm it was that brewed all around them.  But God was with them all the way, and He must’ve dispatched a lot of angels to hold it all together as well as to help calm the circus it must’ve been inside!

Eventually the storm would calm.  But the waters would remain for many days and many nights.  Can you get a sense of what it felt like to finally come to rest on land and eventually step out onto the ground? 

What a world it was as God gave a fresh start and a 2nd chance to this world. 
And though He’s promised to never destroy this sinful earth by flood again, He has promised it’s destruction by fire one day.

As fathers today we need to see that we have a lot in common with Noah in these stormy days we live in, and we need to learn how to build an ark of safety for our family. 

Hebrews 11:7                                                                            
 By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.

Greater Things Are Still To Come!
Pastor Phil
