Bedtime Stories – Water, Water Everywhere!

In this lesson, we are looking at Genesis 6-9, which tells the story of Noah and the flood. This is the most genocidal passage in all of the Old Testament that is often hidden behind cute storybook imagery. And at first glance it should be a troubling account because God has promised to redeem humanity, and now that things have gotten worse, he’s destroying it. So in this lesson we look at the emotion of God in this passage (he is sadden because he cares about his creation, not angry and vindictive), the character of God (that he is not fair but he is faithful) and our response to God (faith).
