Through the Waters—Genesis 7:17-8:12

This sermon explores the story of Noah and the flood in the Book of Genesis, emphasizing that it is not a children’s tale but a sobering account of a grieving God confronting the deep corruption of human sin. Rather than acting out of anger, God responds out of heartbreak, using the flood as both judgment and a means of purification, an “uncreation” that makes way for a new creation and covenant faithfulness. Ultimately, the story points forward to the greater rescue found and fulfilled through Jesus, where sin is decisively defeated not by another flood, but by grace that brings new life.
