[The Bible lesson will be taught in a large room by grade. See schedule for time and
location. The information below is for use for general discussion, Huddle Groups, crafts
and review questions.]
Conclude the discussion by explaining what grace means. It is the God-given ability
to believe in and trust God for salvation. The Bible says Noah found grace in the
eyes of God. Noah stood for God and God would stand for Noah. The attitudes of
Noahs heart were pleasing to God.
God had given Noah the desire to love Him and to reject the evil practices of
others. God looked for someone with this kind of faith to save the human race.
Noah was His man!
What if the people Noah had witnessed to had repented of their sin? Would God
have forgiven them?
God is still looking for anyone who will turn his/her heart to Him in faith and receive
Jesus as Savior. He is looking for those who love Him and are willing to stand for
what is right and good.
Share the ABCs of Salvation and then close in prayer. Be alert to any child who
may want to speak with you about this decision.
Group Discussion
Listed below are some situations the students may find themselves in. These will make
for lively discussions.
Day 1: Grades 3-4
1. Ask the students to give you three words/phrases that describe Noah. (just,
perfect, walked with God)
2. Ask the students if any of these words would describe them.
3. Discuss with the students various situations where they might be called on to take
a stand for whats right. Listen to what they say and be prepared to give wise
counsel.
You see someone you know being bullied by other kids at school.
You hear people criticize and make fun of a new student who sits alone at
lunch.
You see someone copying a homework assignment someone else had done.
You see someone steal lunch money from another student at school.
4. Ask them to describe other situations where they might have stood up for what
was right.
5. Challenge the students to be willing to stand for what is right like Noah, even if
they are standing alone. God is watching everything we do. He searches for those
whose hearts are turned toward Him. He showed favor on Noah and He will do the
same for those of us who believe in Jesus and live uprightly.
