Noah Builds a Big Boat

At-home Resources for Kids

October 10: A New Beginning (Jesus Storybook Bible,  page 38)
Talk about these questions:
  • God wanted to wash the world of all the hurt and sadness. God tells Noah to build a boat in the middle of the desert. What did Noah do, even when people laughed at him and told him he was crazy? 
  • After the flood, what did God promise Noah about the flood? What did God hang in the sky to remind Noah about this promise?  The sign of the rainbow reminds us that God ALWAYS keeps his promises.
Going Deeper with Older Kids...
Read in the Bible:  Genesis 6-9
  • What was the first thing Noah did when they left the ark?  
  • What does this remind us to do in every situation? (1 Thessalonians 5:18)
  • Was God surprised when things wend wrong again, after the flood?  
  • The rainbow reminds us that God always keeps his promises. What other promises has God made that we know he will keep?
Praying the Story
Thank you God for your grace -- your unmerited, unearned, undeserved favor! Thank you that you rescued Noah because of your grace. Help us to learn to follow everything you ask us to do, just like Noah did, so we can share your love with everyone around us. Thank you for rainbows and for reminding us that you always keep your promises! In Jesus' name, AMEN
