Living Proof with Beth Moore is sponsored by the friends and partners of Living Proof Ministries.

We're called to two different kinds of things. We're called to be a part of a community of faith.

A part of a community of people larger than our community of faith, back where you live in your

neighborhood and in your schools and in your workplaces, that we're planted there as believers

in Christ. We're a part of those things. But there comes a time that we got to pull apart,

that we go apart from all of that,

so that we can somehow focus right in

on nothing else but Jesus.

Thank you. on nothing else but Jesus. On the mountains of Ararat.

That is our very first mountain. Eight Five says this, and the waters continue

to abate until the 10th month, and in the 10th month on the first day of the month, the tops of

the mountains were seen. So I want you to start with me right here at that very first peak, Mount

Erarat. Now, why is that significant? Well, because it's the very first time that we see

mountains mentioned in the scriptures right here. First mentions are very, very important,

always in any kind of a principle word or concept in the scriptures, first time they're ever

mentioned.

And then we're told within the third and fourth mention that the ark settles on the top.

So it's a chain of mountains, but it's going to be that peak, that peak mountain, Mount

Ararat is what some of your Bibles will call it others, the mountains of Ararat, same exact thing,

because what happens next is that the very next time, the very next time in Scripture in the ESV that we see

a mention of mountains, I want you to see where it is. I'm going to show you the very first

six mentions of the word mountain because I want you to see them. 719 is when the waters prevailed
