Our study group met for our first session. Everyone received a Study Packet; and the tree picture (from Getting to Know You) to fill in and return next week.
Everything I Need to Know About Life I Learned From Noah’s Ark
1. Plan ahead. It wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark.
2. Stay fit. When you’re 600 years old, someone might ask you to do something Really big.
3. Don’t listen to critics. Do what has to be done.
4. Build your future on the high ground.
5. For safety’s sake, travel in pairs.
6. Two heads are better than one.
7. Speed isn’t always an advantage. The cheetahs were on board, but so were the snails.
8. When you’re stressed, float for a while.
9. Don’t forget that we’re all in the same boat.
10. When the doo-doo gets really deep, don’t sit there and complain– shovel!
11. Stay below deck during the storm.
12. Remember that the ark was built by amateurs & the Titanic was built by professionals.
13. Remember that the woodpeckers INSIDE are often a bigger threat than the storm outside.
14. No matter how bleak it looks, there’s always a rainbow on the other side.
15. DON’T MISS THE BOAT !!!

Noah's story is about faith and obedience plus God's mercy:
It was by faith that Noah built a large boat to save his family from the flood. He obeyed God, who warned him about things that had never happened before. By his faith Noah condemned the rest of the world, and he received the righteousness that comes by faith. Hebrews 11:7(NLT)
For this study we need:
- A basic understanding of what faith is.
- A look at the Hebraic (Old testament) versus the Greek (New Testament) mindsets.
That's where we'll begin next week.
