Rest Through It All - Noah's very name in Hebrew confirms the example he provides for us, who must endure the current 'Days of Noah'. The name Noah means "He will comfort us." God will comfort us, even while the world experiences chaos, wars, and rumors of wars. True rest and comfort can only be found in the rest that God provides. Learn to rest in Him, for He has provided the perfect ark through which we will weather any storm in times of trouble. Noah made it through, we can do it the same way

"And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. 

"By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. 

"By this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith."Hebrews 11:6-7

"Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 

"They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all." Luke 17:26-27

The Bible tells us that the last days would be like the days of Noah. 

As the mass of humanity witnesses the signs of increasing violence and evil manifesting in ways that seemed incomprehensible even just a decade ago, we are focusing on the peace that faith brings through the present storm. 

Though the ark he built for the flood was perhaps not the most luxurious boat ever made, Noah and his family were able to abide in God's rest through the most terrible weather in human history.

The worldwide flood during Noah’s time devastated the entire world, yet Noah and his family were saved in the midst of it. 

Noah's very name in Hebrew confirms the he provides for us, who must endure the current 'Days of Noah'. 

The name Noah (נֹחַ) is derived from the Hebrew word "lanuach" (לָנוּחַ), meaning "to rest", and is connected to "lenacham" (לנחם), meaning "to comfort", from which we get "yenachamenu" (He will comfort us).

He will comfort us, even while the world experiences chaos, wars, and rumors of wars. 

True rest and comfort can only be found in the rest that God provides. 

Learn to rest in Him, for He has provided the perfect ark through which we will weather any storm and be comforted in times of trouble. 

We may be living in the "Days of Noah", but we need not be shaken. 

By faith, Noah made it through, we can do it the same way.

Jesus and Noah's Ark - when Noah came into that ark, it pictured the way we are buried with Christ in baptism. The water was God’s judgment, and not one drop could come through. Christ is the atonement for our sin, and in Him, no judgment can get to you. Noah could open the window and look up. We are sealed into Christ by the Holy Spirit. We look into Heaven through Jesus Christ. God took care of all of their needs. When you come to Jesus, you have shelter and substance. Jesus not only saves but also satisfies

Innovators of Faith - faith is the currency of the kingdom. Without faith, the promises of God remain unclaimed. We must mix our hearing with faith, for our profit, our blessing, our breakthrough is tied to that unshakeable belief in God's promise. Let us not be the cities where Jesus could not perform miracles due to their lack of faith. Let us be the ground rich with belief, fertile for miracles, ready for the rain of God’s blessings to catch up with what we have built in obedience

Walk With God - to walk with God is to listen to Him and obey even if others label those actions foolish or extreme. This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, the only blameless person living on earth at the time, and he walked in close fellowship with God. In Noah’s time, sin was openly expressed by violence and lust until God was grieved and relented of making people. In this environment, Noah excelled in godliness
