God Rescued Noah
Wednesday, November 13th & Sunday, November 17th
Key Passage: Genesis 7:1-9:17
Basic Truth: God is faithful
Memory Verse: For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. Psalm 33:4
Think about it:
Our
government spends millions of dollars every year to provide advance warnings of
approaching storms. But all such alarms
are useless if the people who are in harm’s way do not respond to the warnings.
Ask it:
All Levels
Q: What does it mean to be faithful?
A: Faithful means to be totally reliable, keeping every promise.
Grade 1-2
Q: Why can we trust God's promises?
A: God is faithful. He will not forget His promises or change His mind. God has all power and authority and is able to do whatever He says He will do.
Q: Can anything stop God from carrying out His plans?
A: NO! God is ALWAYS able to do whatever He says He will do!
Q: Why do people break promises? Does that ever happen with God?
A: People change their mind, forget, or are not able to keep it. But God will never break His promises.
Grade 3-4
Q: Why do we need to do things God's way?
A: God's way is always right. God provided only one way for sinners to escape punishment. If we don't trust God and accept His way, we will be separated from Him forever.
Q: Why does God want people to repent?
A: He doesn't want us to be separated from Him forever, so He chose to give sinners a chance to "repent and live".
Q: In this story who did God offer mercy and grace to?
A: All of the people! But only Noah and his family accepted it and followed God's commands.
Grade 5-6
Q: Why would God bring such a devastating flood?
A: God is faithful in consistently following through on what He has promised. God is holy and just and will not tolerate sin. He demonstrates His power and authority so mankind will know that He alone is God!
Q: What is a covenant?
A: A contract or binding agreement defining the obligations of each party in the relationship
Q: What were both sides of the covenant God made with Noah? Could other people join this too?
A: God promised to save Noah and his family from the flood if Noah built the ark and entered it. Noah preached and warned the people but they ignored Him. If they had come in faith, God would have offered this to them as well.
Family Activities:
1) Encourage each family member to record in your journal specific ways that God has been faithful. Share what you have written with your family.
2) Read Genesis 7:17-9:17
