As Requested – A World Gone Wron

As Requested – A World Gone Wrong 
Pastor Blake Hanson | 5.5.24 

Genesis 6:1–8 (NLT)

1 Then the people began to multiply on the earth, and daughters were born to them. 

2 The sons of God saw the beautiful women and took any they wanted as their wives. 

3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not put up with humans for such a long time, for they are only mortal flesh. In the future, their normal lifespan will be no more than 120 years.” 

4 In those days, and for some time after, giant Nephilites lived on the earth, for whenever the sons of God had intercourse with women, they gave birth to children who became the heroes and famous warriors of ancient times. 

5 The Lord observed the extent of human wickedness on the earth, and he saw that everything they thought or imagined was consistently and totally evil. 

6 So the Lord was sorry he had ever made them and put them on the earth. It broke his heart. 

7 And the Lord said, “I will wipe this human race I have created from the face of the earth. Yes, and I will destroy every living thing—all the people, the large animals, the small animals that scurry along the ground, and even the birds of the sky. I am sorry I ever made them.” 

8 But Noah found favor with the Lord.

How to live right in a world gone wrong… 

1) Evaluate your . 

Genesis 6:2 (NLT)

2 The sons of God saw the beautiful women and took any they wanted as their wives. 

2 Corinthians 6:14–15 (NLT)

14 Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness? 

15 What harmony can there be between Christ and the devil? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever?

Hebrews 13:4 (NLT)

4 Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage. God will surely judge people who are immoral and those who commit adultery.

1 Corinthians 7:12–14 (NLT)

12 Now, I will speak to the rest of you, though I do not have a direct command from the Lord. If a fellow believer has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to continue living with him, he must not leave her. 

13 And if a believing woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to continue living with her, she must not leave him. 

14 For the believing wife brings holiness to her marriage, and the believing husband brings holiness to his marriage. Otherwise, your children would not be holy, but now they are holy.

2) Resist opinion and pursue God. 

Genesis 6:9 (NLT)

9 This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, the only blameless person living on earth at the time, and he walked in close fellowship with God.

Fellowship with God is to…

1. Recognize His . 

Proverbs 9:10 (NLT)

10 Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom. Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment.

2. Walk in God’s over the world’s darkness. 

3. Place myself in Godly .

3) Prove your faith in God by your to God.

Hebrews 11:7 (NLT)

7 It was by faith that Noah built a large boat to save his family from the flood…

Hebrews 11:7 (NLT)

7 He obeyed God, who warned him about things that had never happened before. By his faith Noah condemned the rest of the world, and he received the righteousness that comes by faith.

Genesis 6:22 (NLT)

22 So Noah did everything exactly as God had commanded him.

Genesis 7:5 (NLT)

5 So Noah did everything as the Lord commanded him.

Genesis 7:9 (NLT)

9 They entered the boat in pairs, male and female, just as God had commanded Noah.

Genesis 7:16 (NLT)

16 A male and female of each kind entered, just as God had commanded Noah. Then the Lord closed the door behind them.

4) Share with the world that’s gone wrong. 

2 Peter 2:5 (NLT)

5 And God did not spare the ancient world—except for Noah and the seven others in his family. Noah warned the world of God’s righteous judgment. So God protected Noah when he destroyed the world of ungodly people with a vast flood.
