FAITH THAT SAVES A FAMILY

Never Give Up

1. Faith Listens To God’s Warnings

 

“By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen…” - Hebrews 11:7

“As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.” – Matthew 24:37-40
