Before you begin this Bible study, if you have never believed in Jesus Christ as your Savior, John 3:16 tells us: “ For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have eternal life.” Simply, have faith that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins and you will have eternal life and be saved. If you have believed in
Jesus Christ as your Savior; then 1 John 1:9 tells us; “If you confess your sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Simply, privately tell God the Father your sins to be filled with God, the Holy Spirit, and He will teach you Bible truth.

Promise Memory Verse
‘Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.” Ephesians 6:1

Hey kids, did you know that God gave you a very important job? It’s to obey your parents! When you listen to your mom and dad, or even your step- parents and do what they tell you to do without arguing, you are obeying both them and God. When you say yes to mom or dad, you are saying yes to God.
One day a boy named Cody asked his dad if he could have a cupcake, but his dad told him that it was almost lunch time and that a snack would spoil his appetite.
Cody went outside and saw his neighbor pulling out of their driveway and he waved good-bye to

them. As soon as the coast was clear, he snuck into their back yard and went inside of their house. He opened the refrigerator and found some purple grapes. Cody began tossing them one by one into the air while trying to catch them in his mouth. Most of them fell on the floor.

When the neighbors got home, they couldn’t understand why grapes were all over the floor! They went across the street and asked Cody’s parents if they had seen anybody break into their house.
Soon, they found out what Cody did. He not only got punished, but he needed to rebound as well in order to get back in fellowship with God.

Genesis 6:11-22-Period of Time-Age of the Gentiles There was a man in the Bible named Noah. He accepted The Lord Jesus Christ as his Savior and
loved and trusted God very much. He was always willing to listen to Gods’ Word. He lived a long time ago, during the Age of the Gentiles. He and his wife started having kids when he was 500 years old. They had three boys named Shem, Ham and Japheth.
Noah lived at a time when the whole world was filled with violence and wickedness. Even though everyone around him chose to do the wrong things and didn’t love or even think about God, Noah kept on obeying, trusting and learning all about God. I’ll bet that wasn’t easy!
God saw all of the horrifying stuff that the people and even the fallen

angels did! They did not care about Him, and only thought about themselves. He decided to punish them by sending a flood all over the entire earth. He told Noah His plans, and gave him the floor plans so he could build a giant boat, called an ark.

The Bible tells us the length of Noah’s ark was 300 cubits long. Its width was 50 cubits, and its height was 30 cubits. To get an idea of how long it was, it would be the length of 68 big alligators each lined behind each other in a row. It would be as tall as five giraffes standing on top of each other.

Noah worked his fingers to the bone on the ark for a long time. In fact, it took him 120 years! He didn’t have circular power saws, drills or even electricity to do this! After Noah was done with the ark, the inside of it looked sort of like a zoo because it had lots of empty rooms for animals to live in it. There were even rooms for Noah and his family.

In all of that time, none of the other people believed that God was going to flood the entire earth. Can you imagine how they must have made fun of Noah! Noah obeyed God anyway. God wants all of us to be like Noah and obey Him, even if everyone else does not.
