故事与讨论(15分钟)
介绍：
神有一个计划，要把地上所有的邪恶清除掉。但因为挪亚是个义人，是个有信仰的人，所以神在他的计划中有让挪亚得救的方法。这个计划是用一场大洪水摧毁地和地上所有的生物。但为了拯救挪亚，神的计划是让他建造一艘巨大的船，这样他和他的家人以及每一种动物中的两只就可以在洪水中幸存下来。正如我们所知道的，挪亚不仅是义的，他还非常有毅力。他对神有极大的信心。今天我们将学习这种信仰。
读：创6:11-22
让孩子们在Bible中找到创6：11-22。请愿意的孩子自己来读这段经文，如果你愿意，也可以读给孩子们听。
问题讨论：
1. 神告诉挪亚要做什么，为什么？(建造方舟，因为地要被毁灭了）。
2. 描述一下14-16节中的方舟。(用歌斐木制成，有不同的房间，涂有松香，长450英尺，宽75英尺，高45英尺，有三层甲板，等等）。
3. 你认为挪亚花了多长时间建造方舟？(未知，但从神决定毁灭地到他叫挪亚进入方舟的那一天，大约过了120年。)
4. 你认为邻居们看到挪亚建造方舟时有什么反应？(让孩子们猜测)
5. 神打算如何毁灭地？(通过大洪水)
6. 谁会死在洪水中？(所有的生命，除了挪亚和他的家人之外的所有生物。)

来11:7说："挪亚因着信，既蒙神指示他未见的事，就为虔敬所动，预备了一只方舟，使他全家得救，藉此就定了那世界的罪，并且承受了那照着信而得的义。"。
我们不能确定挪亚花了多长时间建造方舟。但我们可以肯定的是，在方舟完工之前，神没有释放他的愤怒。挪亚本来是很容易放弃的，多么艰巨的任务。但凭着信心和毅力，他得到了神应许给他的东西。真正有信心的Christian不会因为某件事情很困难或需要很长时间而放弃。你需要坚持不懈，这样当你完成了神的旨意时，你就会得到他所应许的。(来10:36)

MEMORY WORK (12 minutes)
"You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near." James 5:8 NIV
Have the children look us this verse in their Bibles, then practice saying it several times. Then have them close their Bible and answer who, what, why and when.
Who: You too What: Be patient and stand firm Why: Because the Lord’s coming When: Is near
SCRIPTURE READING AND DISCUSSION (15 minutes) Introduction: God had a plan to rid the earth of all the evil. But because Noah was a righteous man, and a man of faith, God included a way for Noah to be saved in his plan. The plan was to destroy the earth and every living thing on the earth with a tremendous flood. But to save Noah, God’s plan was for him to build a huge boat so that he and his family along with two of every kind of animal could survive the flood. Noah was not only righteous, as we learned last week, but he was also very patient. He had a tremendous amount of faith in God. Today we will learn about that faith. Read Genesis 6:11-22 Have the kids find Genesis 6:11-22 in their Bibles. Ask for volunteers to read the passage or if you prefer read the passage to the children yourself. Discussion Questions: 1. What did God tell Noah to do and why? (Build an ark, because he was going to destroy the earth) 2. Describe the ark in verses 14-16. (Made of cypress wood, having rooms, coated with pitch, 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, 45 feet tall, three decks, etc.) 3. How long do you think it took Noah to build the ark? (Unknown, but approx. 120 years passed from the time God first decided to destroy the earth and the day he told Noah to enter the ark.) 4. How do you think the neighbors reacted when they saw Noah building the ark? (Allow the kids to speculate) 5. How was God going to destroy the earth? (By flood) 6. Who would die in the flood? (All life, every living being except Noah and his family.)

APPLICATION (4 minutes) In Hebrews 11:7 the Bible says, “By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith."
It is not for certain how long it took Noah to build the ark. But we do know for sure that God did not unleash his wrath until the ark was finished. It would have been easy for Noah to give up. What a tremendous task. But with faith and perseverance, he received what God had promised him. Christians with real faith do not give up because something is hard or takes a long time. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. (Hebrews 10:36)
NEXT WEEK Many different animals are named in the Bible. But did you know that these are in the Bible? Wolf, goat, leopard, bear, cobra, weasel, mouse, lizard, skink, and mole (Isaiah 11:6-8; Leviticus 11:29-30) Next week we will discover more about the animals Noah had to bring aboard the ark.
