Reading from Genesis 7:5-16, & 8 1-22(NLT) ~The Flood Covers the Earth, The Flood Recedes~ Scripture reading followed by discussion. God, so fed up with all the violence and bloodshed, starts over with a righteous man and his family, even though the propensity to sin remains. God knows our hearts need to be addressed and sent His Son as The Way. It is not in God’s character to force His own way, even when the human way breaks His heart.
