Noah became drunk after planting a vineyard and became uncovered in his tent. When Ham saw Noah's nakedness, he told his brothers Shem and Japheth instead of covering him. Shem and Japheth covered Noah without looking at his nakedness. When Noah awoke, he cursed Canaan, the son of Ham. The Bible teaches that drinking is not a sin, but drunkenness is sinful and leads to harmful behaviors and loss of self-control.

Now the sons of Noah who came out of the ark
were Shem and Ham and Japheth; and Ham was
the father of Canaan. These three were the sons
of Noah, and from these the whole earth was
populated. Then Noah began farming and planted
a vineyard. He drank of the wine and became
drunk, and uncovered himself inside his tent.

Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of
his father, and told his two brothers outside. But
Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it
upon both their shoulders and walked backward
and covered the nakedness of their father; and
their faces were turned away, so that they did not
see their father’s nakedness. When Noah awoke

And wine which makes man’s
heart glad, So that he may
make his face glisten with oil,
And food which sustains man’s
heart.
Psalm 104:15 16
17. Seen as part of a blessing
Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD
and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your
body And refreshment to your bones. Honor the
LORD from your wealth And from the first of all
your produce; So your barns will be filled with
plenty And your vats will overflow with new wine.

19. Jesus’ first miracle
When the master of the feast tasted the water
now become wine and did not know where it
came from (though the servants who had drawn
the water knew), the master of the feast called
the bridegroom and said to him, “Everyone serves
the good wine first, and when people have drunk
freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the
good wine until now.”
John 2:9–10 19
20. God gave His family free-will

Think
22. Those who shouldn’t drink
It is not for kings, O Lemuel, It is not for kings to
drink wine, Or for rulers to desire strong drink,
For they will drink and forget what is decreed,
And pervert the rights of all the afflicted.
Proverbs 31:4–5 22
23. But Jesus didn’t…
For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and
drinking no wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’
The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and
you say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a
friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
Luke 7:33–34 23

27. The Drunk
Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has
contentions? Who has complaining? Who has
wounds without cause? Who has redness of
eyes? Those who linger long over wine, Those
who go to taste mixed wine. Do not look on the
wine when it is red, When it sparkles in the cup,
When it goes down smoothly; At the last it bites
Proverbs 23:29–35 27
28. The Drunk
like a serpent And stings like a viper. Your eyes will
see strange things And your mind will utter perverse
things. And you will be like one who lies down in the
middle of the sea, Or like one who lies down on the
top of a mast. “They struck me, but I did not
become ill; They beat me, but I did not know it.
When shall I awake? I will seek another drink.”
Proverbs 23:29–35 28
30. A Deadly Sin
do you not know that the unrighteous will not
inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
neither the sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers,
men who practice homosexuality, thieves, nor the
greedy, drunkards, revilers, or swindlers will inherit
the kingdom of God.
1 Corinthians 6:9–10 30
31. Worthy of judgement
For the time already past is sufficient for you to have
carried out the desire of the Gentiles, having
pursued a course of sensuality, lusts, drunkenness,
carousing, drinking parties, and abominable
idolatries…but they will give account to Him who is
ready to judge the living and the dead.
1 Peter 4:3;5 31
32. Christian Liberties
It is good not to eat meat or to
drink wine, or to do anything by
which your brother stumbles.

Let us behave properly as in the day,
not in carousing and drunkenness, not
in sexual promiscuity and sensuality,
not in strife and jealousy.
Romans 13:13 33
34. God’s Guidelines
But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with
any so-called brother if he is an immoral person,
or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a
drunkard, or a swindler—not even to eat with
such a one.
1 Corinthians 5:11 34
36. What about Noah
And Ham…saw the nakedness of
his father and told his two
brothers outside.
Genesis 9:22 36
37. Is there an expiration date?
Honor your father and your mother,
that your days may be long in the land
that the LORD your God is giving you.

38. Is this you?
Do you struggle to honor because of a wound
from alcohol?
Do you have relationship problems because of an
alcoholic parent?
Do you have guilt because of an alcoholic past?

39. Better treatment
Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it
on both their shoulders, and walked backward
and covered the nakedness of their father. Their
faces were turned backward, and they did not
see their father’s nakedness.
Genesis 9:23 39
40. The Covering Principle
Above all, keep fervent in your love for
one another, because love covers a
multitude of sins.
1 Peter 4:8 40
41. Noah’s reactions
Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants He
shall be to his brothers.” He also said, “Blessed
be the LORD, The God of Shem; And let Canaan
be his servant. May God enlarge Japheth And let
him dwell in the tents of Shem; And let Canaan
be his servant.
Genesis 9:25–27 41
42. Questions
Was Noah’s action excusable?
Does favoritism cause family harmony?
Does this cause you discomfort?

43. What are you feeling
Hatred stirs up strife, But love
covers all transgressions.
Proverbs 10:12 43
44. No other comment or commentary
Noah lived three hundred and fifty
years after the flood. So all the days of
Noah were nine hundred and fifty
years, and he died.

Poor judgment- Noah got drunk!
Disrespect-Ham disrespected his father
Honoring- Shem, and Japheth covered their father’s sin
Cell Phone- Romans 1:28 says that God gives people over to a depraved mind who don’t submit to him to become among other things GOSSIPS & SLANDERS
Laptop Computer- Jesus said if you look at a woman to lust in your heart you have committed ADULTERY. Hebrews says God will judge fornicators and adulators and fornicators
Marijuana- The Bible says nothing. However…
Romans 14:14 (ESV) I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself, but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean.
The A/G has an abstinence-based tradition.
I do not drink alcohol and I do not recommend it.
But we do not base belief on what Pastor Ed believes but on what the Bible says.
First and foremost is Jesus Lord of your life? Then you will want to please him by following what His word says!
Mentioned 212x in the Old Testament Four different words and none of them mean grape juice.
Mentioned 50x in the New Testament 3 words.. Wine. New wine, Sweet wine (early in the stages of fermentation
Some positive and some negative. Don’t proof text your opinion. I’m not here to change your conviction I’m going to teach what the Bible has to say
Tithing in Jerusalem Deuteronomy 14:24–26 If the distance is so great for you that you are not able to bring the tithe, since the place where the LORD your God chooses to set His name is too far away from you when the LORD your God blesses you, then you shall exchange it for money, and bind the money in your hand and go to the place which the LORD your God chooses. You may spend the money for whatever your heart desires: for oxen, or sheep, or wine, or strong drink, or whatever your heart desires; and there you shall eat in the presence of the LORD your God and rejoice, you and your household.
Numbers 15:7 and for the drink offering you shall offer one-third of a hin of wine as a soothing aroma to the LORD.
Does God allow wicked things to be offered to Him?

Genesis 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was a priest of God Most High.
A type of communion
A snapshot of what Noah was doing
Psalm 104:14–15 You cause the grass to grow for the livestock and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food from the earth 15 and wine to gladden the heart of man, oil to make his face shine and bread to strengthen man’s heart.
Wine and It’s effects
Proverbs 3:7–10 Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your body And refreshment to your bones. Honor the LORD from your wealth And from the first of all your produce; So your barns will be filled with plenty And your vats will overflow with new wine.
The LORD of hosts will prepare a lavish banquet for all peoples on this mountain; A banquet of aged wine, choice pieces with marrow, And refined, aged wine.
Can’t use bad things as a symbol of blessing.
John 2:9–10 (ESV) When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.”
Some people say the wine was grape juice or non-alcoholic but there is no evidence to support that assertion.
God gave His family free-will
God created the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

Honor is given not earned.
Do you struggle to honor because of a wound from alcohol?
Do you have relationship problems because of an alcoholic parent? You may feel justified in your self-righteous anger!
Do you have guilt because of an alcoholic past?
Forgiveness is the cure
