Passage: Genesis 6:5-8
Summary
Here is the question I want you to consider over the next several weeks, from multiple angles: Are you all-in in the mission of God with your life? Not just are you committed to the church on the weekend, but with the biggest parts of your life?
Sermon Questions
- What does it mean to be deeply committed to anything? On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being all in and 1 being far from being all in, how do you score yourself as someone who is following Christ. Explain your score.
- What was special about Noah? Why would God choose him for the task of building the ark? Noah found grace. How is your life different because you have found grace?
- Noah was used as an instrument to bless others. How is God desiring to use you to be a channel of blessing to someone else? Who is God calling you to share the good news of Jesus with?
- God said to Noah, “I have determined to make an end of all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them with the earth. 14 Make yourself an ark of gopher wood. After this announcement, Noah could not go on with “life as normal.” Imagine the difference from this point on in how Noah saw the world: Every person he saw was headed for destruction. How would that change the way you look at your neighbors who don’t know Jesus? Would it spur you to action when it comes to those who don’t know the Lord? Explain your answer.
- Noah was grateful. Noah exits the ark and when he does, the first thing he does is offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to God. Are you grateful for the many blessings God provides for you? Explain.
