Just now realized that I have not uploaded the audio for last week’s messages. Probably won’t be until Monday or Tuesday now.

An Outline of Genesis 9 …

• God blessed Noah and his sons and gave them boundaries and guidelines for the new world they would face, 9:1-7.
  God commanded them to be fruitful and multiply.
  God put a fear and dread of humans on all the animals of the earth.
  God gave them permission to eat anything that moves and the green plants, except with the blood.
  God pronounced a reckoning on any animal or human who took the life of a human.
  God repeated his common to be fruitful and multiply and increase greatly on the earth.
• God established a covenant with Noah to never again destroy the world by a flood, 9:8-17.
  God will never again destroy people and animals of earth by a flood.
  God gave the sign of the rainbow to remind us of this covenant.

• Noah and his family left the ark and stepped into a new world, 9:18-29.

Scoffers scoff, and mockers mock. It’s what they do.

• (2 Chronicles 36:16 NLT) But the people mocked these messengers of God and despised their words. They scoffed at the prophets until the LORD’s anger could no longer be restrained and nothing could be done.
• (Proverbs 1:22 ESV) How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple? How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing and fools hate knowledge?
• (2 Peter 3:3 ESV) Knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires.
• (Acts 17:32 ESV) Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked. But others said, “We will hear you again about this.”
• (Galatians 6:7 ESV) Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.

Believers believe. That’s what we do …

• Our faith is not blind faith. We have good reason to believe our God. We intimately know the Person we trust. We live in him and in his words. We know that he is true and what he says is true because it is plain and clearly perceived in the world around us.
• We have evidence to support our belief system because we have a written, accurate account from the only eye witness. What we observe fits this written account because the written account is true.
• We have no need to suppress the truth because truth is the foundation of our belief system. Those who oppose our written account—God’s word, the Bible—have a tremendous obstacle in their quest. They must suppress the truth of God that his entire creation, including humans, gives witness to.

Message Text: 1 Thessalonians 2:12 & Selected

Jesus is coming again.

ARE YOU READY?

Lightning flash … “GAME OVER” … 

• (Luke 17:24 ESV) For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day.

When the Son of Man–aka the Son of God, aka Jesus Christ is revealed in the heavens, then judgment has come. God destroyed the world once by water. He promised to not do that again. But he will destroy this world again. This time by fire.

BIG QUESTION: ARE YOU READY?

Once the lightning flashes and the Son of Man is revealed from heaven, then for those who are still at odds with God, it is too late.

SO … ARE YOU READY?

Maybe there’s an echo in the room … ARE YOU READY?

Adam’s Legacy …

• Adam and Eve introduced to humanity an age of reason based on a self-determined standard of good and evil.
  —>(Genesis 3:6 NLT) The woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious, and she wanted the wisdom it would give her. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it, too.
  —>(Genesis 3:22a ESV) Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil.”
• Adam’s standard of reason doomed all humanity to a sub-standard life of failure as it opposed the word and the glory of God.
  —>(Romans 3:22b–23 ESV) For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
• Adam’s methodology of reason and the resulting death spread to all people.
  —>(Romans 5:12 ESV) Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned.

Message Text: Genesis 4

Probably my greatest discovery from our Genesis study thus far.

• Studying God’s creative work is powerful and inspiring, but I don’t know that I have discovered anything really new or so compelling that it has risen in my mind in great significance. And I was already completely sold out on the importance of understanding sin’s entrance into our world through the disobedience of Adam and Eve and the implications for our lives today. Foundational truth.
• But the truth that has so captured my attention is the introduction of human choice in good AND evil as the new, world-wide standard for ethics and morality. Free thinking that in reality is a prison of thought that disallows people from seeing past themselves to the truth of God. Wisdom that makes a person a fool, creates empty thinking and darkens hearts.
• The new standard says, “No God allowed.” Now you knew this, and I knew this, and the new standard is really the old standard, but we probably have not realized the extent to which it has filled our society and our world.
• A standard is the accepted norm; An idea or thing used as a measure, norm, or model in comparative evaluations; something considered by an authority or by general consent as a basis of comparison; an approved model;  those morals, ethics, habits, etc., established by authority, custom, or an individual as acceptable; authorized or approved; something that is very good and that is used to make judgments about the quality of other things; widely recognized or employed as a model of authority or excellence.
• In eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, Adam and Eve set into motion this new world-wide standard for ethics and morality.
• God no longer is the only one with the voice of wisdom. Now we decide. That is the standard in our world today. There is a new sheriff in town. The mother of all criteria is: Believe whatever you want as long as it includes the holy grail of complete acceptance for everyone and no judgment for anyone. With some, it is believe whatever you want; just don’t believe God. And, if you do believe in God, demand that he accept whatever you offer to him.
• This is what Cain did.

“God, who do you think you are?”

I am El Shaddai …

“I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be blameless.”
(Genesis 17:1 ESV)

And God said to him, “I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply.
(Genesis 35:11 ESV)

I am El and Elohim …

Then he said, “I am God, the God of your father. Do not be afraid …”
(Genesis 46:3 ESV)

Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!
(Psalm 46:10 ESV)

Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel,
I will testify against you.
I am God, your God.
(Psalm 50:7 ESV)

Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth!
For I am God, and there is no other.
(Isaiah 45:22 ESV)

I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me,
declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, “My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose.”
(Isaiah 46:9b–10)

For I am God and not a man, the Holy One in your midst.
(Hosea 11:9 ESV)
