Genesis 7 records the fulfillment of God’s warning to Noah and the certainty of divine judgment. In this sermon, we examine three truths: God’s Word saves, God’s grace is now but not forever, and God’s judgment is sure.

The ark points forward to Christ. Just as only those inside the ark were saved from the flood, only those who repent and believe in Jesus will escape the final judgment. Today is the day of salvation.

The Depravity of Man | Genesis 6:1–8

Explore Genesis 6:1–8 in this powerful sermon on the depravity of man, God’s judgment, and His undeserved grace. In the days of Noah, humanity had turned almost entirely from God, living in widespread corruption and rebellion. Yet even in the darkest moments, God saw every action and the intentions of the human heart, preserving a righteous witness and offering hope through His grace.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

- The total depravity of man and the depth of human sin in the antediluvian world.

- How God calls His people to live righteously, even in a culture that celebrates sin.

- Lessons from Enoch and Noah on faithfully calling out sin, warning of judgment, and pleading for repentance.

- The significance of Genesis 6:8: God’s grace is undeserved, initiated by Him, and ultimately fulfilled in Christ.

- Practical guidance for Christians to live faithfully, preach boldly, and rejoice in God’s saving grace today.

This sermon also provides biblical perspective on moral decline, cultural compromise, and the church’s responsibility to proclaim truth in every generation. It reminds believers that salvation is never earned—it is entirely by God’s grace—and that faithful living and gospel proclamation are acts of obedience, love, and witness.

Perfect for personal study, small group discussion, or sermon preparation, this episode equips listeners to understand the seriousness of sin, the certainty of God’s judgment, and the hope of God’s redeeming grace.
