Sermon
Is God Tolerant and Affirming?
Center Church
Speaker: Josh Miller

Summary
Through the story of Noah, judgment and salvation reveal God's character: He is just and will judge evil, yet gracious and provides a way of deliverance. Noah found favor through grace, obeyed God fully, and was saved in the ark—prefiguring how Christ is the only way to escape God's wrath.
Highlights
God is patient, but he is not tolerant. He is compassionate and merciful, but there comes a point when God says enough is enough.
The grace of God leads us to obey the commands of God. When we experience the grace of God, we learn to trust him and we learn that his commands are good.
If your worship is weak, if your singing is silent, it's because you don't understand the gospel. It's because you have a dim view of God's wrath and don't realize you deserve it.
