Week 3 Discussion Guide: Week 3 Discussion

Week 3 Discussion Guide

Use these questions with your group or for personal reflection at the end of the week.

Opening (5 minutes)

• What image or phrase from this week’s reading has stayed with you most?

Observation (10 minutes)

1. What parallels did you notice between the flood narrative and the creation account in Genesis 1?
2. Where did you see grace appearing within the judgment of the flood?

Interpretation (15 minutes)

1. What does “God remembered Noah” suggest about how God operates during long silences in our lives?
2. The Noahic covenant is made with every living creature. What does the universal scope of this covenant tell us about God’s purposes in the world?

Application (15 minutes)

1. Noah’s first act on dry ground was worship. What habits or practices help you make worship your first response in difficult transitions?
2. The table of nations insists that all peoples share a common origin. How should this shape how you interact with people from different backgrounds this week?

Prayer (5 minutes)

Close in prayer, thanking God for his faithfulness across generations and asking him to grow in your group the unity that the table of nations points toward.
