God's Just Judgement (Verses 1-5):
Genesis 7 begins with God's clear declaration of judgement The only was of escape was an unsinkable ark.
What "unsinkable" things in your life might you be relying on instead of God's grace?
How does Noah's story challenge you to examine your own standing before God?
God's Re-creation (Verses 6-16):
God personally "shut Noah in" the ark, ensuring his complete safety.
How does this image of God's protective action speak to your own sense of security in His hands, especially when you feel vulnerable?
In what ways do you know that "God has shut you in" to his safety?
New Life in Christ (Verses 17-24):
The flood brought an end to one world and the beginning of another, a "re-creation" through water.
In what ways have you experienced a similar "passing through the waters" in your own life, leading to new life or a new beginning in Christ? Be vulnerable and share your experiences.
