Canon Conversations: Genesis 5-9

Discussion Questions: The story of Noah and the flood are familiar stories to many. What details or aspects of the story stood out to you in your reading and study? Anything that you hadn't noticed before? Sin has full taken hold of the hearts of humanity at this point in the story. How does Noah seem to escape the corruption that everyone else seems to have fallen into? Why might God look with favour upon him? Where do we see the mercy of God in these chapters? Where do we see the justice of God in these chapters? How do these two pillars of God's character always go together? How might God's covenant with Noah give us hope about planet Earth today and the future? How do these chapters equip us for life in a broken world? How do they push us towards hope in a God who is both just and merciful?
