Time: 10:00am
Dear Church,
This Sunday is our first annual Church business meeting. We'll plan on gathering all the adults for the meeting as soon as everyone has gone through the food line.
Our trek through Genesis continues bringing us finally to the story of Noah. On the podcast, Joe and Rick dive into Genesis 6:13‑7:9, tracing the narrative from the post‑Fall degeneration of humanity to God’s decision to wipe out the earth with a flood, saving only Noah’s family and a pair of animals. They emphasize that God’s detailed instructions for building the ark—its exact dimensions, the use of pitch, and the separation of clean and unclean animals—illustrate a divine pattern of precise and careful obedience that parallels the New‑Testament themes of covenant, baptism, and the church as a living “ark.” The conversation highlights Noah’s faithful compliance as the model for the faithful remnant, pointing out that the flood narrative prefigures later sacrificial systems and underscores the importance of both heart and detail in worship. Listen to the podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
