Alive –O 7Term 2 Lesson 1

The Seamless Garment

Day 1• Focus on Prayer Page 106

• Emphasise on choosing a colour

• Genesis 9:8-17

Again, God said to Noah and his sons:

I am going to make a solemn promise to you and to everyone who will live after you. This includes the birds and the animals that came out of the boat. I promise every living creature that the earth and those living on it will never again be destroyed by a flood.

The rainbow that I have put in the sky will be my sign to you and to every living creature on earth.

It will remind you that I will keep this promise forever. When I send clouds over the earth, and a rainbow appears in the sky, I will remember my promise to you and to all other living creatures.

Never again will I let floodwaters destroy all life. When I see the rainbow in the sky, I will always remember the promise that I have made to every living creature.

The rainbow will be the sign of that solemn promise.

Picture to go with Genesis 9:8-17
