Short Bible Story Preview
In a time when violence filled the earth, Noah walked with God. God told him to build an ark because a great flood was coming. Noah obeyed even though the work was enormous.
Noah's family and the animals entered the ark. Rain fell, waters rose, and God kept them safe. After the flood, Noah came out and worshiped God.
God set a rainbow in the sky as a sign of his promise. For children, Noah's story is about obedience, protection, judgment, mercy, and a colorful reminder that God keeps his word.
