30 April 2023 (am) – Genesis 6:9-22
 | Andy Bruins preaching from Genesis on Sunday 30th April 2023. |
Genesis 6:9 starts a new “historic account” section of the book; “The history of Noah”. Chapters 6-9 tell the story of the terrible flood that God sent to judge the earth because of the sinfulness of Mankind.
In this first section we are introduced to Noah and to God’s saving plans for him and his family.
Q Why do people (especially sceptics) struggle so much with the story of Noah?
Q Read 2 Peter 3:3-7. What is the argument “scoffers” use to dismiss the notion that God will one day judge the earth? What is Peter’s counter-argument?
Q Read v9-10. What are we told about Noah? What do these things mean?
Q Read v11-13 What are we told about the world Noah lived in? What is God going to do about it? Is God justified in doing this? Why?
Q Read v14-21. What is God’s plan? How do we see God’s patience and provision in these verses?
Q Read v22. How does this verse help us to understand why Noah is called a “righteous” man (cf. Hebrews 11:7)?
