GOD REMEMBERED NOAH – GENESIS 6-9 – PASTOR STEVE RUETSCHLE 1. In Genesis 6:5 God looks and sees “how great the wickedness of the human race had become.” What are the parallels between the state of humanity in Noah’s time and our own? 2. In Genesis 6:6 we learn that God regretted that He had made human beings. Does God actually have regrets? Please discuss. 3. Genesis 6:9 tells us that Noah walked faithfully with God, and Steve noted that one characteristic of these chapters is poetic parallelism…repetition to emphasize a point. Find the passages that indicate that Noah repeatedly did as God commanded and discuss the following: What is the connection between walking faithfully with God and obedience to Him? Why would Noah obey God’s unusual request? 3. Has God ever requested you to do something that you thought was risky, frightening or didn’t make sense? What was it and what did you do? 4. Steve noted that the story of Noah and the Ark is a foreshadowing of God’s saving work through Jesus. As
