Christ’s Sufferings, Noah’s Parable, Our Victory

This past week was quite a doozy as far as the passage goes. It has 180+ interpretational variances, entire books written on 2 of the verses, and plenty of heated debates surrounding it. I've got admit that it is by far the most strenuous prep work I've done for a passage in my short life as a preacher.

But oh how many riches there were to be found! The rich imagery that the story of Noah brings to mind in relating the opening idea—Christ's sufferings on the cross for our sin—and the closing exclamation—that Jesus is now at the right hand of the Father, owning everything and everyone—is absolutely breathtaking.

If you couldn't make it this past week (a good few of you were out), then I'd encourage you to check out the podcast. There is a lot that I go through in it, and being that it was so much content, I go through it pretty fast (and thus somewhat sloppily at various points). That being the case, here are my basic notes that I went from so you can study them, the podcast, or the two side by side.

I hope you benefit from Peter's difficult words as I have the past several weeks.
