Noah Study: Lesson 3

The story of Noah is about faith, obedience and grace. Let's begin by looking at what faith is.

Faith Quotes to Ponder

Faith in God is the rarest of things because we only have “faith” in our feelings. 

"I do not believe God unless He will give me something in my hand whereby I may know I have it. Then I’ll say, “Now I believe.”  

There is no faith in that.

-      David McArdle

Scottish Bible Scholar

When we are motivated by what Jesus needs- not what man needs and not what we think we need- then we are on the path of continual and perpetual blessing [through obedience based on faith.]

-      Chip Brogden, author

The life of faith is not a life of mounting up on wings, but a life of walking and not fainting… faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One who is leading.

-      Oswald Chambers

True faith involves the whole of the inner person: the mind hears God’s instructions; the heart ponders the possible outcomes then acts in obedience to God’s Word.

NEWS

Moody Publishing announced today that they are releasing two new Bible Studies for Women.

Moody asked women what they were looking for in Bible studies. Their response was "something in-depth with no fluff...something to feed the mind not just the heart."

I am delighted that publishers are listening. I've been saying that for years; and why I studied then wrote this study and several more.

My in-person group meets Sunday afternoon. Prepare your heart and mind... I am!

Remember to submit- in the box to the right- your e-mail address so you won't miss a post.

New Year Crash & What's up?

Began 2015 with a dead computer, but now I'm ready to share GemLode with you.

GemLode is for those who want to delve into Scripture, who want to get beneath the surface of God's Word, who want to study and increase their knowledge and then apply it to their lives.

My name is Connie and I met the Lord in a very personal way over 50 years ago. Over those years, I have been dismayed by the lack of in depth Bible studies. Now that I am retired, my greatest joy is the study of Scripture. Thanks to the internet, resources are readily available plus I have built a small Bible reference library.

Currently, I am writing a Scripture based book.

Max Lucado wrote, "Blessed are the available. Blessed are the conduits, the tunnels, the tools. Deliriously joyful are the ones who believe that if God has used sticks and rocks [and donkeys] to do His will, then He can use us."

I am available. I desire to be a conduit into God's Word. For our first study, I have used over 40 references and spent over 6 months studying and writing on Genesis 6-9. I have a student PDF for those who e-mail me at constancegilbert@gmail.com.

It is with joy that I begin next week sharing what I discovered about Noah and the Ark. I am praying for you, the readers, as we embark on this verse by verse expedition.

Selah...think on this
