What can we learn from Noah? Check out what we talked about in Crenshaw Kids Sunday!

 

Noah lived long ago, along with his wife and his sons and their wives. When God saw that the rest of the world was full of people doing bad things, He told Noah to build an ark. God was going to send a great flood to cover the earth. The ark Noah built was huge. It had plenty of space for everyone to come in and sit down. But no one except Noah’s family believed God would flood the whole earth. God would only save Noah’s family and the animals. Just like in Noah’s ark, there is plenty of room for all of us in Heaven. We don’t need to scramble for a seat. Jesus told us a little about Heaven when he said, “In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.” (John 14:2)
