A Man Named Noah | Dr. Robert Jeffress | September 20, 2026

Main message: Noah’s story shows that God’s undeserved grace can save one person who then, by righteous living, courageous obedience, and trusting faith, makes a worldwide difference; today the only escape from coming divine judgment is faith in Jesus Christ.

Key points:

• God saved Noah by grace, and Noah’s response to that grace was to live blamelessly and “walk with God.”
• The world in Noah’s day was thoroughly corrupt and violent, prompting God’s judgment by flood.
• God gave very specific ark instructions; Noah’s unquestioning obedience (doing “all that God commanded”) demonstrates saving faith evidenced by action.
• The ark is presented as a picture of salvation in Christ (one entrance, covered with pitch as protection/atonement).
• Application: to impact the world we must pursue uncompromising holiness, unyielding courage, and unconditional faith, and lead others to trust Christ before the coming judgment.
