Try to answer these questions only from this or previous stories without jumping ahead. Let the story emerge…

Why did God flood the earth and destroy everything?

What have we learned about God in previous stories that help us answer this question?

What do the stories we have heard so far show us about what humans are like?

Before the flood came, what do you think people believed about God and themselves?

At this point in the story, how does God feel about humans?

What do we learn about Noah in this story?

How is it that he and his family are the only ones spared in the flood?!?

What was God communicating to Noah (and all humans) by creating a rainbow?

What did God say to Noah about the blood from the sacrifices?

Why is what God said important? Try and answer from the stories so far…not leaping ahead.

What does this story teach us about God?

What are we trusting in to save us from our rebellion against God and our sinful hearts?

Often, what are we hoping in to make us right before God and others? How is that working out…?
