Sunday School — 6‑14‑26 (Genesis 6–7)The Sunday School lesson walked through Genesis 6–7 with a focus on preparation, obedience, and the seriousness of God’s judgment, showing how Noah’s righteousness and rootedness set him apart in a violent, corrupt world. The teacher highlighted the massive labor behind the ark—not just building it by hand over decades, but preparing food, caring for animals, and sustaining life for months inside a sealed vessel—revealing that salvation involved both God’s perfect design and Noah’s faithful work. The repeated emphasis on “male and female,” “two of every sort,” and “clean and unclean” underscored God’s order, while the shutting of the door marked the finality of judgment once the rain began. The lesson drew a parallel to today: just as Noah prepared before the flood, believers must prepare before Christ returns, staying rooted, nourished, and connected, because once the door closes, it is too late.
