In this message from Genesis 6, Treavor Kamstra challenges the way we often soften the account of Noah’s Ark into a child-friendly image and reminds us of its sobering reality—God’s righteous judgment on a world filled with violence and corruption.
Treavor explains how both 1 Peter 3 and 2 Peter 3 use the flood as a warning and a reminder of God’s future judgment, calling listeners to take God’s Word seriously. He contrasts the world’s mockery of God’s promises with the certainty of His plans, and urges believers to live in readiness, walking faithfully with God as Noah did.
The sermon calls us to see the flood not as a quaint story, but as a real event that points to the urgency of repentance and the hope of salvation found in Christ.
Key Points:
The flood was global and catastrophic, not a harmless children’s story.
Peter uses Noah’s day as a parallel to the coming judgment.
God’s patience delays judgment, but it will surely come.
Noah’s obedience and faith are a model for believers today.
We must respond with repentance, readiness, and trust in God’s promises.
