Reflecting on God’s Protection:

How have you experienced God's protective care in your life, especially during challenging times? What does it mean for you that God "shut Noah in" the ark?

The global flood was a demonstration of God's judgment against sin. How does this aspect of God’s character influence your understanding of both His justice and His mercy?
Trusting in God’s Provision:

In Genesis 8:1, God remembered Noah and provided for his needs. How can you apply this assurance of God's provision to your current circumstances or challenges?
The Importance of Community:
