Noah Herrin preaches from Genesis about Noah as an example of steadiness and obedience. He argues that God often calls people to long, thankless tasks - “build the boat” - and the measure of success is faithfulness, not applause or visible results. Herrin warns against trading a God-given assignment for a more attractive man-made opportunity and urges listeners to persevere because God brings the harvest in his timing. He illustrates the point with personal stories (a childhood t-ball story and his sister Carson’s full-ride scholarship after committing to missions) and issues a practical call to identify and keep building the ‘boat’ God has given you.
“"...the Holy Spirit interrupted him and his wife's dinner and told them that they're supposed to give a full ride grant for four years to an incoming freshman who wants to be a missionary."” · Noah Herrin
Take it with you
Identify the 'boat' God has asked you to build (marriage, job, ministry, singleness, church). Choose faithfulness over seeking applause or the next opportunity: keep showing up, keep serving, keep praying and giving. Expect seasons where nothing seems to change, but persevere - God often brings the harvest after long obedience.

Facing Giants | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from 1 Samuel 17 (David and Goliath) to show how God calls ordinary people to face extraordinary 'giants.' He argues fear often sidelines us because we are self-focused instead of God-focused, and reminds listeners that victory belongs to the Lord. Using David's shepherd-season as an example, he urges faithfulness in small tasks, community support, and remembering past deliverances to build courage.
Wake Up | Noah Herrin at WAY REVIVAL '26
Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 26 (with other biblical references) calling Christians to "wake up" spiritually. He centers on Jesus in Gethsemane and the jarring detail that the disciples fell asleep when asked to keep watch, drawing three main reasons for their sleep: they got comfortable with God's presence, casual with holiness, and careless with their time.
God Loves Your Enemy | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Luke 19 using the story of Zacchaeus to call Christians out of secrecy and into mission. He contrasts a "secret agent" faith with the biblical mandate to be visible witnesses, grounding that in Matthew 5, Matthew 28 and Acts 1.
