Building in the Fog: Noah’s Faith and the Power of Daily Obedience

from CityRise Sermon Conversations · host Chris DeArman, Dr. Mark Edworthy, Dr. Roger Patterson

How do you keep moving forward when you can't see what's on the horizon? In this episode of the CityRise Sermon Conversations, our teaching pastors dive into Hebrews 11:7 to explore the life of Noah. We discuss the challenge of obeying God concerning "events as yet unseen" and what it means to be a "preacher of righteousness" in a world that might think you’re crazy.Whether you are in a season of "foggy" transitions or a decades-long "daily grind," this conversation offers practical insights on hearing God’s voice, the discipline of habits, and trusting the One who steers the boat.In This Episode, We Discuss:Moving in the Unseen: Why faith is like walking through the woods with a flashlight—you only get more light once you take a step.The "Cloudy Before Clear" Principle: Navigating seasons of life where the directive isn't yet obvious.Standing Alone: The reality of following God when it feels like you are the only one in your workplace or community standing for what is right.Consistency Over Intensity: How Noah’s 75-year "boat building" project mirrors our own journeys in marriage, parenting, and career.Certainty vs. Uncertainty: Finding peace by anchoring yourself in what you know (God’s Word) while being okay with the "when" and "how" you don't know.Key Scripture:Hebrews 11:7 – "By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household."
