By Faith: Noah Built

Pastor Will takes us into the heart of Noah's story, revealing that his faith was about far more than building a boat. We discover that Noah's greatest act wasn't carpentry—it was choosing to anchor his trust completely in God's word despite 120 years of contradicting circumstances. Every sunny day, every planting season, every mocking voice could have undermined his conviction, yet he persisted. The challenge for us is profound: do we trust God enough to live differently than the world around us? Noah's faith moved him to action, driven not by terror but by reverent respect for God's authority. He became a 'preacher of righteousness' in the most wicked generation imaginable, ultimately converting only three people—his sons' wives. Yet he never stopped building, never stopped preaching, never stopped living as a testimony. We're reminded that we live in similar days, where the world is spiritually dead, busy with everything except God. The question becomes deeply personal: what are we building with our lives? Are we creating a Christian heritage that draws others to salvation, or are we quietly conforming to the world's patterns? Our very lives either convert sinners or condemn them—there's no neutral ground. This isn't about condemnation through judgment, but through the compelling contrast of righteousness lived out authentically in a dark world.
