Scripture Reading: Genesis 6:5-8, 7:17-23; 9:16 & Romans 6:23
Songs : Rise & Shine, Standing on the Promises

God had to find a way to remove sin from the world. So, He told Noah to build a very big boat called an ark. Noah did just what God said and built that ark. Noah and his family got in that ark, and so did some of every kind of animal. Then God sent rain and the whole world flooded. The people who were not in the ark drowned.
The Bible tells us what the punishment for sin is (Rom 6:23 - death). But, just like God made a way to save Noah – God has made a way to life for us! If we are IN Jesus, like Noah was IN the ark, we are safe! God promises us life in Jesus.
When the flood was over, God made a promise not to send another flood to destroy the world. As a reminder of this promise, He put a rainbow in the sky. Whenever we see a rainbow, we should remember that God keeps His promises, and He promises to give us life because of Jesus!
Questions:
- Can you think of a promise that God has kept? (sending Jesus)
- Did God keep His promise to Noah, too?
- Can we trust God to always keep His promises?
