People have a lot of questions about Noah's Ark and the flood; they also have a lot of misunderstandings! Today in our study of Genesis 7, we'll address some of the most common questions and misunderstandings of the flood and see that the biblical account clearly is possible. Join us! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. The study mentioned that Noah needed many decades to build the ark. Righteousness obeys over the long haul. Are there times when you obeyed God over a long period of time? Was that difficult? Why or why not? 2. How does a biblical understanding of "kinds" help us see how Noah could fit the animals in the ark? 3. According to the study, what stage of physical development were most of these animals likely to have been at when they came onto the ark? Why? 4. What does verse 2 tell us about the number of each clean animal? What are some possible reasons presented in the study for why there may have been so many clean animals brought onto the ark? 5. People often characterize the flood as being the result of heavy rain. While rain contributed to the flood, what does verse 11 indicate was another key cause of the flood? 6. According to the study, how could the waters cover the mountains, in verses 19-20? 7. What does Genesis 7 show us about God's provision? What did God provide for Noah in this passage? What has He provided us for salvation? 8. For Noah to receive God's provision of salvation from the flood, what would he have to do? In light of the salvation God offers to us through the cross of Christ, how might Noah's response be similar to how we need to respond to God? 9. Have you accepted God's offer of salvation? When and how? 10. Take a moment to reflect on the troubles and trials you have gone through in life. What did God provide for you in them? Why not take a few moments to thank Him for your provision, and praise Him for His loving grace? Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis! Available on Amazon!
