AGE 4-5 TEACHER’S MANUAL
SUNDAY 10TH OF NOVEMBER, 2024
LESSON ELEVEN (11)
TOPIC: FAITH

BIBLE TEXT: Genesis 9:1-9,17
[1]And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
[2]And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
[3]Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
[4]But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
[5]And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man’s brother will I require the life of man.
[6]Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
[7]And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
[8]And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
[9]And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
[17]And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

MEMORY VERSE: Hebrew 11:6 “but without faith it is impossible to please God

LESSON AIM: Have Faith in God.

CHILD RELATED TRUTH: God wants you to take him at His word and promises.

INTRODUCTION: Hebrew 11:1 “Faith is the substance of things hope for, the evidence of things not seen. These are many heroes of faith in the bible we have Abel, Enoch, Abraham, Sarah, Rahab, Jacob, Isaac, Joseph, Moses etc. Faith is just doing what God ask you today, and believing him for tomorrow. Have faith in God, my heart, trust and be unafraid, God will fulfil in every part each promise he has made.

PROGRESSION OF EVENTS
A. Many people filled the earth. most of them no longer believed in God and were following their own way. 6:1-7 (following your own way instead of God’s way, is a sin. sin is doing things that displease God. examples; lying, fighting, disobeying, stealing etc. Romans 3:23 tells us we are all born in sin and there is a punishment for sin which is death, that is separation from God. Romans 6:23.)
B. Noah was the only man in the society who walked with God. 6:8-9 (Noah has three sons; Shem, Ham and Japheth vs 10, Noah’s life shown with righteousness when others are sinning against God).
C. God warn Noah that He will destroy the world and instructed him to build an ark 6:13-21 (how sad and shocked Noah had been when God gave him this news! everyone on earth would die because of their sinful ways – everyone but Noah and his family).
D. Noah obeyed God, doing all that He commanded him vs 2 (he obeyed because, he believed God, he had faith in God and in His word. it was recorded that it took Noah 120 years for Noah to complete building the ark. while on the job Noah keep warning the people about God’s judgment, 2 Peter 2:5, but they mocked him, they did not believe nor change from their ways, it must has been hard for Noah to stand alone during that time but his faith kept him going).
E. God commanded Noah and his family to enter the ark, taking with them any kinds of animal male and female 7:1-4
F. When Noah, his family and the animal were in the ark, God shut the door. (God made Noah to warn the people for 120 years to turn from their sin, but they had refused. they was only one place to safety. those in the ark were safe from God’s punishment for sin. today there is only one place for you to be safe from God’s punishment for sin, that place our safety is the Lord Jesus Christ. He is God’s perfect son who took the punishment for your sin and mine when He died on the cross. Colossians 1:14 “in whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sin. He did not stay dead, He came alive. you can believe in Him and ask Him to forgive your sins today, you can be safe in the Lord Jesus as Noah and his family were safe in the ark).
G. God send the flood, destroying everything on earth 7:11-24. (Noah faith in God saved him and his house hold but the unbelievers all perished.
H. After several month, and the ark rested on mount Ararat 8:1-14.
I. God commanded Noah and his family to go out of the ark 8:15-19

CLIMAX: Noah built an altar and offer a sacrifice to thank God for his protection 8:20

CONCLUSION: God honored him for his faith and obedience by giving him instruction and some promises for the future 9:1-12 God also placed a rainbow in the sky as a sign of is promise that He would never again flood the whole earth 9:13-17.

CHALLENGE: God always keep His promises. If you know Jesus as your saviour have faith in Him, trust Him always. 1 Timothy 12:6

INVITATION: Admit your sin, believe Jesus died so that you can have your sins forgiven. choose Him today as your Lord and Saviour John 1:12.
