Main Theme: Faith is proven through obedience. Dewayne Payton's message focused on Noah's faithfulness and obedience in building the ark — even when he had never seen rain. The sermon emphasized trusting God's Word above logic, walking in His will regardless of circumstance, and leading others (especially family) to salvation through consistent faith. Introduction and Context Dewayne opened with prayer, thanking God for His Word and for the congregation's hunger to grow. He returned to Genesis 6–8, reviewing Noah's story as an example of unwavering faith and obedience in a corrupt world. “Noah was faithful in all that God commanded him — can we say the same?” The Call of Noah and the Power of Obedience (Genesis 6:11–22) The world was corrupt and filled with violence, yet God chose Noah because of his righteousness and obedience. God gave specific instructions for building the ark — exact measurements, placement of the door and window, and even how to seal it with pitch. Dewayne noted that every command had a reason — even when Noah didn't understand it. “Faith doesn't question — it builds. Noah didn't argue with God; he just obeyed.” Key Point: Believing in God is not the same as believing God. “It's one thing to believe in Him; it's another to take Him at His word.” The Test of Waiting and Believing Noah believed God's warning about a flood, even though rain had never fallen before. God gave 120 years before judgment — time for obedience, preparation, and patience. Dewayne reminded that God often asks believers to wait: Noah waited seven days in the ark before the rain started — a test of faith. Waiting reveals whether we still believe after obedience. “When God gives you a word, the devil will try to show you the opposite — to test if you really believe God.” God's Control Over Creation and Salvation Dewayne illustrated how animals came to Noah by divine instinct, comparing it to migration patterns of geese, whales, and turtles. The lesson: if God can guide animals, He can direct your path. “It's never the animals that are the problem — it's us.” God told Noah, “Come into the ark,” implying His presence was already inside. Salvation is being with God in the place of safety. The Door of Salvation Genesis 7:16 — “And the Lord shut him in.” Dewayne highlighted this as symbolic of God's control over salvation: Noah didn't close the door; God did. “It's not our place to decide who's too far gone — only God shuts the door.” Once God shuts the door, judgment begins — a parallel to the coming judgment of the world. “Today is the day of salvation. Once the door closes, it's closed.” The Flood as Judgment and Picture of the Rapture The flood waters lifted the ark above judgment — a prophetic symbol of the church's rapture. Noah waited seven days (one shabua, or period of seven), just as believers will be with Christ for seven years before returning with Him. “Judgment came, but the righteous were lifted up. That's what God will do for His church.” Lessons in God's Sovereignty and Human Limits Dewayne taught that even during chaos, God was in full control: He started and stopped the rain. He set boundaries for the flood. He sustained Noah and the animals — possibly even through hibernation. “When you're in God's will, you're never in danger. When you step out, that's when trouble comes.” He used a simple illustration: a stick figure walking on God's path is safe even in storms, but danger comes when we wander into our own way. The Raven and the Dove (Genesis 8:6–12) The raven represents the flesh — feeding on death and corruption. The dove represents the Spirit — finding no rest in the world, returning to Noah. “There's no rest for the believer in this world. Rest only comes when you're in Christ.” The dove's return with an olive leaf signified peace and restoration — God's renewal of the earth and reconciliation with mankind. Worship and Sacrifice After Deliverance Noah's first act upon leaving the ark was worship — he built an altar and sacrificed clean animals. Dewayne noted how costly this was — there were only seven pairs of clean animals. “True worship costs something. If it doesn't cost you, it's not an offering — it's convenience.” God responded with mercy, promising never again to destroy the earth with a flood and sealing His promise with a rainbow — a symbol of grace that the church must reclaim. “It's time for the church to take back the rainbow. It belongs to God.” The Call to Faithful Witness Just as Noah's obedience saved his family, believers today are called to lead others to Christ. “Noah built an ark for 120 years to save his family. What are we willing to do to save ours?” We no longer build wooden arks — we build spiritual ones through evangelism, prayer, and witness. The closing call was urgent: Judgment is coming again, but through Christ, we escape wrath. “All we have to do is believe — thank God we don't have to build an ark.” Core Message Faith that obeys God is faith that saves. Believe not just in God — believe God. Stay in His will; it's the only safe place in the storm. True worship costs something. Tell others — the door of grace is open, but one day it will shut.
Ben shares from Genesis 6 in the second week of our Noah series.
Theme From Sunday's Sermon: Praying for Blessing Topic: Blessing and Obedience On this edition of One Single Story, Pastors Stephen Mizell, Jay Rivenbark, and Alyssa Bream discuss the following questions: I know we practice circumcision in our country for health reasons, but it is difficult for us to relate to circumcision as a “sign”. Why did God choose this as a sign of His covenant with Abraham and Israel? Okay, but how does circumcision connect to the covenant? They don't seem related. What are some things God requires of His people that are not necessarily “logical"? What are some things God has required you to do that were perhaps difficult to obey? Talk about a time in your life when you were obedient to a challenging request. What happened as a result of your obedience? The reading for the day is: Genesis 16:1–18:15 Matthew 6:1-24 Psalm 7:1-17 Proverbs 2:1-5

Genesis
What happens when the thing God asks is unsettling, outrageous and even offensive? How should we respond when he turns our whole world upside down; when it doesn't make sense in the moment? That's where we find Abraham in Genesis 22. In the midst of the tension and unanswered questions he moves forward with a radical obedience; a faith that echoes in every generation and is ours to emulate.
Obedience starts with knowing who God is

Genesis 22:15-19 New King James Version 15 Then the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time out of heaven, 16 and said: “By Myself I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son— 17 blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. 18 In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.” 19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.

Noah's Obedience (5-16) Round 1 (5) Round 2 (6-9) Round 3 (10-16) Conclusion
Finally! We get to the part where Jacob is in full surrender to God! In Genesis chapter 35 God tells Jacob to go back to the very spot where he first spoke to him 30 years earlier. If you remember from Chapter 28, Bethel is the place where God began speaking to him through a vision of a stairway extending from earth to heaven. It symbolized God's ongoing presence in his life. Like many of us, it took Jacob several years to live fully in God's presence. God was always with Jacob, but Jacob wasn't always with God. After Jacob receives the vision he proclaims this in chapter 28:20-22. “If God will be with me and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear so that I come again to my father's house in peace, then the Lord shall be my God, and this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God's house. And of all that you give me I will give a full tenth to you.” He is returning to his father's house. For the last ten years, he's been doing whatever he wants. As a result, he has the drama of multiple wives, his daughter is sexually assaulted, his boys murder an entire tribe and no one seems to respect Jacob. The family is fragmented. Earlier, God told him to go to Bethel but instead, he went halfway and stopped. Partial obedience made his life a living hell. But God did not abandon Jacob. Good said again, “Go back to Bethel” and this time Jacob obeys fully. Now you need to know this is a religious pilgrimage. Bethel was in the heart of Canaanite country. The intent here is to drive a stake in the heartland of idolatrous Canaanite worship and to establish Yahweh as the one true and living God. Jacob is proving to be the leader his family needs. His boys massacred the people of Shechem and took all their stuff including their idols. So Jacob says, “It's time this family does what is right. Get rid of the idols!” He steps up as a father and leads well. His boys are grown men but it will always be a parent's right to instruct their kids between what is good and evil. They may or may not listen, but it is mom and dad's obligation. Jacob tells his household to put away the foreign gods and to cleanse themselves and put on new garments. This purification ritual symbolized the turning of a new page. It's the transition from one state to another. This reminds me of Christian baptism. Burying the old life with the death of Christ and raised to a new life through his resurrection. Along the journey to Bethel God protects Jacob from his enemies. Jacob is wealthy and owns a lot of livestock. He travels with a massive entourage and people can't help but pay attention. He is a foreigner surrounded by hostiles. Easy for him to draw heavy fire. But God causes the Canaanites to fear him. This is supernatural terror that falls on those who might want to do him harm. I like to say, “The man or the woman of God doing the will of God is invincible until God calls him or her home.” Jacob is doing the will of God and God has his back. The same is true for you and me. This is why we want to be obedient in whatever God asks us to do and be. If God is for us, who can be against us?
Noah, a righteous and blameless man, obeys God's command to build an ark which will save he and his family from a global flood - God's wrath on the world against sin. We get a glimpse of the Gospel in this sobering story of judgment and salvation.

Last Sunday we saw how God's good creation (and the Garden) was a wonderful context for work and rest. Next week we'll see how it's a wonderful context for relationships and family. But this week, defining all of it, we see how it's a place of worship and obedience. Every feature and creature is for the worship, glory and honour of God. And for people made in his image, that's especially expressed in obedience. Our freedom and flourishing is defined by good boundaries from a good Creator. And one of the exemplary ways we see this in Genesis 2 is the Sabbath Day – a special day of worship and obedience and holy activity Speaker: Dan Kroon

Do we put our trust in the promise, or in the God who promises? The answer makes all the difference! Dr. Bill Dogterom, professor at Vanguard University, shares this message entitled Abraham: Leaning Into Relational Obedience. This is the second in a summer series on how God met and changed characters from the Old Testament.
https://youtu.be/wmaly4tpZeQ The Calvary Chapel Church has been formed as a fellowship of believers in the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Our supreme desire is to know Christ and be conformed into His image by the power of the Holy Spirit. We are not a denominational church, nor are we opposed to denominations as such, only their over-emphasis of doctrinal differences that have led to the division of the body of Christ. Calvary Chapel Natomas is an affiliate of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa and has been established through Calvary Chapel Amador. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God. Therefore, our ministry emphasizes the exposition of God's Word from Genesis to Revelation. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe in the Deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His promised return in power and glory. We believe that repentance from sin and acceptance of Jesus as Lord and Savior is the only way to come into a relationship with God. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by Whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life; we further believe His power and gifts are available to believers today.

Sermon from 1/19/2020 Senior Pastor, Joey Thompson
an expository sermon on Genesis 12:1-9 preached by pastor Jordan Atkinson on January 5, 2020
In this TNL episode, Zachary Licciardi follows the life of Abraham and challenges us to live in radical obedience to God.
Sometimes obedience to the commands of Christ can seem like the most complicated thing in the world. Genesis, and the account of Adam's fall, shed some light on why this is and they present Christians with hope for holiness and simple obedience.
Pastor Ben preaches on Genesis 22:1-19.
This week we begin a long exploration of the last of the three patriarchs of Israel. Jacob, also known later as Israel. The time has come for Isaac to give his blessing to one of these boys. He wants to bless one, but due to his loss of sight and an act of cunning and deception, Jacob supersedes his brother Esau! Theft, lying, deception, these things are immoral, and yet God uses them to bless the world. How does that even work?

What do you do when God asks the impossible? What do you do when God asks everything of you? Of all of the stories of Abraham in the Bible, the story of the Binding of Isaac is perhaps the most iconic. It reveals the standard and shows a man, who has to trust fully and reveals the truth that absolute faith requires obedience.
