When life gets foggy and the "land" is nowhere in sight, how do you keep moving forward? In this powerful message from our 40 Days of Faith series, Chris DeArman explores the life of Noah—a man who was called to build an ark for events "as yet unseen." Through the lens of Hebrews 11:7, we learn how to navigate seasons of uncertainty, risk, and danger by leaning into the certainty of God’s Word rather than our own sight. Whether you are facing a health crisis, financial strain, or a difficult family situation, Noah’s journey offers a "gold jacket" example of how to live out a faith that endures. Key Takeaways from This Sermon: Be Certain: In moments of deep uncertainty, the only thing we can truly grasp is the Word of God. Learn how a regular rhythm of listening to God provides the instructions you need, even when you don't have the explanations. Be Consistent: Faith isn't a one-time decision; it’s a daily choice. Noah believed God for 27,000 days (75 years) while building the ark, despite seeing no rain or clouds. Be Counted Righteous: Discover how Noah’s story points directly to the Gospel. We are made right with God not through our behavior or "building," but through our belief in Jesus Christ.
