Bigs Discussion Questions
What was your favorite part of today’s Bible story?
Genesis 6-10 In today’s Bible story, God told a man named Noah to build an ark—a really big boat.
What did you learn about God in today’s Bible story?
God chose to rescue Noah and his family. Later, God sent Jesus to rescue us from the punishment for sin. God hates sin because sin does not honor Him, and it hurts the people He made. God never stops loving us. Like He rescued Noah, He sent His own Son to rescue people from sin.
What do you think it would be like to live on a big boat with all of your family and every kind of animal? Would it be fun? Would it be hard?
Invite the kids to use their imagination to answer. Ask them to name animals that would have been on the ark. Say the Bible Verse in different “animal voices.”
What does it mean to sin? To sin is to go against God and His commands.
Elementary Discussion Questions
Why would God want to destroy His own creation?
Guide the kids to consider why God wanted to destroy the very people He had created. Help them to understand that God saw the spread of sin throughout the world. God saw that men were wicked, even every thought was evil. Help them understand that sin deeply grieves God. It’s not just that God must punish sin, it’s also that God is sad when His people choose to sin.
Why did God choose to save Noah?
Help the kids understand that God chose to save Noah because God is merciful. Noah loved and trusted God, but he was a sinner like everyone else. Help the kids to understand that God chose to save Noah to point others to Jesus. Every story in the Bible points us to Jesus. Help kids consider how the story of Noah foreshadows the story of Jesus saving us from the punishment of our sin: death.
How can we trust God to keep His promises?
Help the kids to discuss the promise that God made to Noah. God promised Noah that He would never destroy the world through a flood again. Help the kids to consider other promises God made throughout the Bible. Help them understand that God always keeps His promises. We can trust God to keep His promises because God is perfect and all-powerful. He can never fail. He does not lie. Help kids understand that we can trust God just as the people in the Bible, like Noah, did.
