In this sermon, the preacher discusses the story of Enoch from the book of Genesis. Enoch was a man who walked with God and enjoyed spending time with Him every day. Eventually, God invited Enoch to take a long walk with Him and Enoch agreed. They walked so far that Enoch realized it was getting late and he needed to go back home. However, God told him that he was closer to His home than his own and invited Enoch to come home with Him. The preacher also contrasts the belief of modernism and some cults that suggest man can save himself or that human nature is inherently good, with the biblical view that man is inherently sinful and in need of salvation. The sermon concludes by mentioning the genealogy of mankind and the popular belief that human nature can be improved through environmental and hereditary changes, while emphasizing the biblical truth that salvation is ultimately a work of God.

In this sermon, the speaker emphasizes the importance of recognizing the influence we have on our children. He highlights the biblical concept that children inherit the nature and characteristics of their parents.

In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes the fundamental problem of mankind: the deceitful and wicked nature of the human heart. He refers to the story of Noah's Ark in Genesis 7 as an example of God's response to this problem, where God destroyed all flesh on earth to cleanse the evil hearts of humanity. The preacher then connects this concept to the resurrection of Jesus, stating that through Jesus, God destroyed our evil hearts and recreated us with new hearts. He also references 1 Peter 3:20 to support this idea. The sermon concludes by highlighting humanity's response to their insecurity and fearfulness, leading them to grab everything they can to fill the void.

The preacher also touches on the idea that many people are not fully committed to heaven or hell, but rather seek a comfortable middle ground, which goes against the teachings of the Bible.

In this sermon, the speaker emphasizes the power and significance of making a contract or covenant. He compares the binding nature of signatures on a piece of paper to the vows made in marriage.

He highlights the importance of accepting and identifying with Christ, as this decision leads to God's faithfulness in identifying us with Jesus. The speaker also mentions how the wonders of the universe reveal the intelligence and greatness of God, and how the Word of God and the Spirit of God played a role in the creation of the universe.

Erlo Stegen emphasizes that baptism is a powerful testimony of salvation, not a mere ritual that guarantees transformation. He critiques the belief that infant christening or water baptism alone can save, asserting that true baptism symbolizes a genuine repentance and a new life in Christ. Stegen shares personal testimonies of individuals transformed by Christ, highlighting that true change comes from a relationship with Jesus, not from the act of baptism itself. He urges believers to examine their lives for any unconfessed sins and to live authentically for Christ, as baptism should reflect a true commitment to following Him. Ultimately, he calls for a clear separation from sin and a wholehearted dedication to God's will.

Allan Halton preaches on the significance of Noah's ark as a foreshadowing of Christ's atonement on the cross. He emphasizes the importance of water baptism as a symbol of cleansing the conscience and obedience to God's command. Halton discusses how the events of Noah's time parallel the present age, warning of the impending Day of the Lord and the necessity of being found in Christ to survive the coming judgment. He urges believers to live holy and godly lives, hastening the return of Christ and the establishment of a new creation where righteousness dwells.

Allan Halton preaches on the importance of heeding Jesus' warning about the days of the coming of the Son of man, emphasizing the need to 'get out' of the world's ways and 'enter in' to God's provision of salvation. Just as Noah and Lot were saved by following God's instructions, believers today must enter into Christ, the true Ark of salvation, through faith and baptism into His death and resurrection. This act of faith becomes our 'ark' of salvation, ensuring our security through trials and judgments to come.

It highlights the dangers of mixing the natural life with Divine things, stressing the importance of discernment and distinctiveness in our spiritual walk.

Zac Poonen emphasizes the profound influence of individual faithfulness through the examples of Noah and Joshua. Noah, amidst a wicked world, remained faithful to God, ensuring the survival of humanity and serving as a model for uncompromising faith in today's society. Similarly, Joshua, after years of preparation, was exalted by God to lead Israel, demonstrating the miraculous support God provides to those He chooses. The impact of Joshua's leadership was so significant that the Israelites remained faithful during his lifetime, highlighting the power of one man's devotion to God. Poonen calls for modern believers to emulate the steadfastness of these biblical figures in a world increasingly filled with rebellion against God.

Zac Poonen delves into the profound meaning of baptism as explained in Romans 6:1-7, emphasizing the crucifixion of our old sinful nature with Christ and our burial into His death. He distinguishes between the old man, representing our former sinful mindset, and the flesh, which is the self-life within us that opposes God's will. Through baptism, we testify to the death of our old man and our resurrection with Christ, symbolizing a new life in Him.

Jonathan Edwards preaches about the importance of undertaking great endeavors for our own salvation, using Noah's obedience in building the ark as an example. He emphasizes the thorough and universal obedience of Noah, who followed all of God's commands diligently for his salvation. Edwards highlights the immense undertaking Noah faced in building the ark, which required great labor, care, and expense, lasting for 120 years. He urges listeners to be willing to engage in and persevere through the great work necessary for their eternal salvation, as the deluge of God's wrath will surely come, and those who neglect this work will be swallowed up in it, facing infinitely terrible destruction.

The preacher delves into the concept of eagerly waiting for Christ's return, emphasizing the intense yearning and eager anticipation believers should have for the Lord's coming. This waiting involves withdrawing attention from worldly distractions and focusing solely on welcoming the Savior. The sermon highlights the heavenly citizenship of Christians, urging them to live in a manner befitting citizens of heaven, with their allegiance primarily to God's kingdom. The ultimate transformation of believers' bodies into the likeness of Christ's glorious body is also discussed, emphasizing the power of God to subject all things to Himself.

John Gill expounds on 1 Peter 3:20, discussing the disobedience of those in the days of Noah who ignored God's warnings and the preaching of Noah, leading to their destruction in the flood. He emphasizes God's longsuffering during the 120 years of ark preparation, where only eight souls were saved, illustrating the narrow path to salvation through faith in Christ, akin to entering the ark. Gill draws parallels between the flood's waters that saved Noah and his family and the Gospel's dual nature of salvation and judgment, encouraging believers to remain steadfast in their faith amidst trials.
