A Baptismal Flood (1 Peter 3:18-22)

Peter presents Noah’s flood as precedent that shows God’s deliverance and judgment. However, Peter also appeals to the flood story as a baptism. What does the flood teach us about baptism? How does this ultimately encourage us in our Christian walk? What does this teach us about covenant theology?

Sojourning Under the Sun: Sabbath Reminder (Genesis 8:20-9:28)

The Lord enters his rest at the end of the creation.  The Lord has finished his work and is now in the rest where man is to join the Lord enjoying the eternal bliss of heaven.  However, man has fallen, martyrdom has already happened, and the Lord has dealt with the offender.  Now what is going to happen?  How is this creation going to respond to Lord warning Cain?  Will the Lord have to intervene once again?
