The opening chapters of the Bible are the seedbed for the truth found throughout the rest of Scripture.

As we study the first 11 chapters of Genesis, we will discover principles that can guide us as we seek to have a new beginning with God.

Are you in need of a spiritual reset?

Good news.

Our God is the God of new beginnings.

Let's join Scott Pauley now.

Noah was a builder.

I don't know if that's what he was by trade, but it's what God made out of him.

He was quite a builder because he was called on to build the ark that literally saved mankind from the worldwide flood. So this was a man that knew how to follow divine blueprints and do it exactly God's way.

This was a man that was definitely concerned about quality control.

He was a builder.

But usually when we think of Noah building something, we only think of the ark.

Today, I'd like to show you something else that Noah built after the ark that I think is just as significant. And it reveals something about his heart.

We come to the closing verses of Genesis chapter number eight. Verse 18 says,

And Noah went forth and his sons and his wife

and his son's wives with him, every beast, every creeping thing, and every foul, and whatsoever

creepeth upon the earth after their kinds went forth out of the ark. Would you use just a little

imagination for a moment and put yourself on that boat when the door opens and they get

to to walk out into the sunshine their feet hit solid ground i mean what would you do i get down and kiss

the dirt uh what would you do your first day off the ark? Where would you go?

The whole world is open to you now, and it's all new, and it's all fresh.

And this study, we're talking about finding a new beginning.
