Questions to consider:

• What did you think of the video? Do you have any questions about it?
• The story described Noah as someone who loves being with God. Do you like being with God?
• Noah had to trust God and do exactly what God told him to do. Have you ever had a time when you trusted God? If so, when and what happened?
• Have you ever experienced a time when people laughed at you because they didn’t understand what you were doing? If so, how did it make you feel? How do you think Noah felt when people laughed at him for building the Ark the way that God told him to build it?
• The video told us that God was with Noah and the animals in the Ark when the storm was really bad and really scary. Have you ever experienced a time when you were scared but you felt like God was with you?
• The video told us that God promised to never destroy the world again and that he had a different plan to bring life to the world – to rescue his people. Who do you think this rescuer is that God plans to send?
