9 June 2019 - Noah: The Real Story - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon NotesPraise and Worship songs performed:
(Originally Preached on 13 April 2014) Based on the standard of God, there is no man that is good. Man is measured by God’s righteousness. No man can ever match up to that on their own. The Apostle Paul called himself the chief of sinners. He was a Pharisee, not a chief mafia or chief pimp. No one is good — all have fallen short of the glory of God. The end times will be just like the days of Noah. The same solution back then will still work today. The movie “Noah” is grossly Biblically-inaccurate. This movie is crazy that it makes Noah crazy. It means God look harsh and mean. God never asked Noah to kill his family. God told Noah to save his family. Noah was a preacher of righteousness. He preached for 50 - 70 years before the flood. God gave the world an opportunity to be saved but they didn’t believe Noah’s preaching. Poetic license never takes away from the character. The Passion of the Christ is an excellent movie. The scene whereby Jesus as a child fell and Mary ran to Him, tugs at your heartstrings. In another scene, Jesus made a table as a carpenter and told Mary that it would be popular one day. Then He playful splashed water in His mother’s face. That’s a fine touch, showing their relationship. These scenes aren’t written in the Bible. But they could have happened. That’s poetic license. Genesis 3:15 - God is addressing Satan who took on the embodiment of a serpent. The woman’s seed is Jesus. Women don’t have seed. This hints at the virgin birth. In crushing Satan’s head, Jesus’ heel was bruised. Jesus is the Serpent-Crusher and Dragon Slayer. “And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.”” (Genesis 3:15 NKJV) After the prophecy was given, the devil wanted to stop the coming of the Messiah. He observed Cain and Abel. Abel brought a lamb (blood sacrifice) whereas Cain brought crops of the land (the works of his own hands). Abel’s sacrifice was accepted by God, but Cain’s was rejected. When you come to God with an unblemished lamb, He respects and honors that sacrifice. The first murder was over religion. Abel approached God using God’s way, while Cain approached God using man’s way. The devil instigated Cain to murder his Abel, thinking that the Messiah would come from Abel’s lineage. But this was not so. Cain’s wife was one of his sisters. Abraham also married his half-sister Sarah. Before the fall of men had taken its full effect, man’s genes were still purer than now. We don’t marry within our family today because of faulty genes in our gene pool. There is a higher chance to have children with physical problems if you marry within the same family.
