After the flood, God establishes his Covenant with Noah, his descendants, and all living creatures–never again will God cut off all life. God is re-creating the earth, calling Noah and all humanity to be fruitful and fill the earth anew. The God of the Bible is about restoration and relationship–he is committed to us, who […]

Noah’s Ark, the flood account in Genesis 6-8, is arguably the most well known narrative in the Bible. What does this story still have to say to us today about our faith?
