Genesis 6-9

“Everything I need to know I

learned from Noah”

What can we learn from the life of Noah before, during, and after the call to build the Ark?

I. Before the Call’s Inception:

A. He stood out among a wicked people (6:5):

1. The Bible says that Noah was

righteous (6:9).

2. Noah, like Job, was said to be

blameless (6:9).

3. The Bible also says that

Noah “walked with God” (6:9).

II. During the Call’s Period :

A. Noah listened to God:

“”Spiritual Vision”

specifications (6:14-22)

(8:6-19)

second recorded thought.

in it (9:1-3)
