When the Pastor preaches himself under conviction...

 

This was the question I asked in a series I'm preaching on Noah. I posed the question as part of the PowerPoint presentation.  The thought is compelling as well as convicting and the sanctuary grew quiet as each of us reflected on its implications.  First of all it speaks to the faithfulness of Noah's life; his faith and fellowship with God.  But it also calls for deep personal introspection.  There is definitely room for growth and improvement on my part.  May God help us to love Him and be loyal to His word not just as if the survival of the race depended on it, but because the love of God displayed for me upon the cross of Calvary compels and constrains me to do so.
