Questions for discussion - Genesis 6 - 9

Please read Genesis chapters 6 to 9, chapter 19 and Luke 17 before starting these studies. During the bible studies group discussion you will only have the time to read some of these chapters as a group. Probably each person in the group reading four verses each.

This is an exceedingly interesting study. If you take the time to do your preparation at home before the group study you will find it very rewarding.
