 Lessons from the Ark

Many sermons could be preached from Noah and the ark. Here are some of the lessons in a nutshell:

1. Plan ahead when needed. Remember, it wasn't raining when Noah built the ark. 

2. Let God be your guide. Stay close to him, so you won't get caught up in worldly pursuits and miss the boat.

3. Don't be afraid to tackle whatever God puts before you. Remember an amateur built the ark, and experts built the Titanic.

4. Stay fit and live a healthy lifestyle. You never know when you may be called on to do something really important like Noah was.

5. In looking to the future, try to take the higher ground. Choose God's way.

6. Wickedness and sin are never best and never pay in the end.

7. Always be caring and considerate. In some ways. we're all in the same boat. Let God take care of the judging.

8. It's often good to travel in pairs. Make time for your spouse.

9. When you're stressed and feeling the pressure, relax and float with the Lord for a while.

10. Speed isn't always important. The ark held both a sloth and a cheetah.

11. Don't listen to the critics. Continue on, doing what needs to be done.

12. Noah relied on God completely, and things turned out fine for him and his family.

13. No matter how long or how severe the storm, when you place yourselves in God's hands, there will be a rainbow waiting.
