The Flood is one of the most well-known stories in the entire Bible; and yet thanks to children's books, there's a lot of confusion about the flood and what the Bible says actually happened. Join us today as we look into why God sent the flood and what Noah's preparations entailed.
GENESIS KEY CHAPTERS DISCUSSION AND THOUGHT QUESTIONS: The following discussion questions can stand alone or be used in conjunction with the Key Chapters podcast. They can be used in a Small Group, family discussion, or for personal reflection. The idea is that the person/group/family will have read the Key Chapter and then answer the questions. Perhaps there would be time to listen to the podcast as well.
1. Why is the account of the Flood not a children’s story? What does today’s podcast on Genesis tell us is the real point of the Flood?
2. What are some possible answers about who were the “Sons of God” in Genesis 6:1-4? Were they giants?
3. What does it mean, in verse 5, that every intent of man’s heart was evil continually?
4. How should we understand the statement in verse 6 that the Lord was grieved He made mankind?
5. What were some of the reasons, discussed in this Genesis 6 podcast, that God would want to blot mankind from the face of the Earth?
6. How does the word “cover” in verse 14 help us understand the concept of “atonement” that will be discussed throughout the Bible?
7. What does the dimensions of the ark tell us about its stability in rough seas?
8. Notice that in verse 17, the Lord specifically sought to destroy all flesh with the breath of life in it. How does this speak to the preservation of plant and sea life, or other similar forms of life?
9. What is the importance of God establishing His covenant with Noah, in verse 18?
