NOAH AND HIS SONS – Genesis 9:18-29

• The sons of Aaron fail (Lev. 10:1-3)
• After appointing a king, king Saul, he fails (1 Samuel 9-31)
• King David, a man after God’s own heart fails (2 Samuel 11)

1 Corinthians 10:12: Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.

• A preacher of righteousness
  2 Peter 2:5: if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly;
