Noah

A righteous man in a violent world who built what God told him to build.

The story

1. Found favor Gen 6:5-9

   In a corrupt world, Noah walks with God and finds favor.

2. Build an ark Gen 6:13-22

   God gives him the plan, and he does all that God commands.

3. The flood Gen 7:11-24

   The fountains of the deep burst open. Everything outside the ark dies.

4. The bow in the cloud Gen 8:20-9:17

   He builds an altar. God makes a covenant with every living creature.

5. The vineyard Gen 9:20-27

   He gets drunk and is shamed; he curses Canaan.

Questions to sit with

1. Noah obeyed for years before he saw any rain. What has God asked of you that looks pointless right now?
2. Even Noah fell after the flood. How does it help you that Scripture tells the truth about its heroes?
