As we now turn to Genesis 8, we find Noah and his family still on the ark. In this episode, we'll think about what it would have been like to be on the ark for over a year, waiting for word from God. It wouldn't have been easy. And yet, as we look at Noah and his example, we find a man of faith who waited upon the Lord. Join us for our next study in the Key Chapters of God's Word!

DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS:

Genesis 8 1.    In Verse 1 God remembered Noah. How does the study explain what this phrase means? When we compare verse 1 with verse 15, how frequently did the study suggest the Lord was in direct communication with Noah? What do you think life on the ark would have been like for Noah and his family? 
2.    Noah was on the ark a lot longer than 40 days. According to the study, approximately how long was he and his family on the ark? What does this tell us about his patience and trust in the Lord? 
3.    Why do you think Noah didn’t leave the ark in verse 13 once the ark rested on dry ground? 
4.    What did Noah do when he got off the ark? Why do you think he did this? Would you have done this? What does this indicate about Noah’s character? 
5.    In verse 21, the Lord promises to never again curse the ground on account of man. Does this mean the curse is over? How did the study explain the word for “curse” here in verse 21, versus the word “curse” back in Genesis 3:17?
6.    In verse 21, the Lord says the intent of man’s heart is evil from his youth. Has man’s heart condition changed since Genesis 6:5? What does this show us about God’s mercy?
7.    According to the study, what was the purpose of the flood? Was it to reform man? Or was it for something else? 
8.    In verse 21, the Lord promises to never again destroy every living thing in the manner He has done. What is this an inherent promise to provide? 
9.    What are the two key promises recorded in Genesis 8:21-22 and Genesis 3:15? How are these promises fulfilled in Christ? How can you trust in these promises, even today?
