Noah Herrin - February 1, 2026
Build The Boat
What does faithfulness look like when obedience is costly and the finish line feels far away? In this Rally Sunday message, Noah Herrin teaches from the story of Noah and challenges us with a simple but confronting truth: starting things is easy—finishing things is biblical. Through Genesis 6 and Galatians 6, we are reminded that God’s definition of success is not comparison, position, or recognition—but faithfulness to what He has asked us to build, even when no one else understands it. This message calls believers to: Build what God asked, even when results aren’t immediate Stay faithful when perseverance feels exhausting Measure success by obedience, not comparison Shift perspective instead of waiting for a position change Trust that a harvest comes when we don’t give up Key Scriptures: Genesis 6:8 (MSG) Genesis 6:18–22 (NIV) Galatians 6:9 (NIV) Key Takeaways: God’s measurement of success is faithfulness Success is not me compared to you, but me compared to what God asked of me. Endurance is often what separates obedience from breakthrough As famously said by Albert Einstein, “It’s not that I’m the smartest. I just tend to stick with problems a little longer than the person beside me.” If you’re in a season where God has asked you to build, stay, serve, or believe longer than expected—this message is for you.
