Noah Builds an Ark Genesis 6:5-22
Noah was a good man. He loved God. But the rest of the world had stopped listening to God. People were violent and sinful. So God told Noah, “I’m going to send a flood to destroy the world, but I have a special job for you.” God told Noah to build a boat. “Make it big,” God said. The boat should also have many floors with many rooms and a big door on the side. After months of hard work, the boat was finished. God told Noah, “Gather up a male and a female of each kind of animal.”

When the water dried up from the flood God had sent, Noah and his family were grateful to be on dry land. Everyone praised God. Then Noah built an altar where he gave God gifts to thank Him for keeping them safe. Then God made three promises to Noah. The first promise was that there would always be seasons . . . summer, autumn, winter, and spring. God also said that there would always be night and day. His last promise was that He would never again flood the whole earth. To make sure that people never forgot this promise ‌
