Bible tale: Noah part 2 of 6

 Noah part 2 of 6

Genesis 6:11-22

re-told by Debbie Dunn









Story highlights:

* God gave Noah 100 years to build ark before worldwide flood.

* Noah's Ark was 510-ft long & 85-ft wide & about 45-ft tall

* Noah’s Ark & worldwide flood took place 1656 years after birth of Adam


Bible role-play begins:


Narrator #1: Have you ever heard some terrifying news and then had to figure out how to share that news with your family or best friends?

 

Narrator #2: Would they believe you? Would they blame you? Would they think you had gone crazy?


Narrator #1: Five-hundred-year-old Noah struggled with that after hearing from Father God.

 

Narrator #2: Walking home, Noah might have wondered, "What will my wife and three young sons say when I tell them that Father God has given me 100 years to build a giant boat called an ark?"


Narrator #1: Noah might have entered his house and announced, "Uh, ..., wife, sons, uh, ..., I have some good and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"

 

Narrator #2: Perhaps they said, "Let's hear the good news first. What is it?"


Narrator #1: Noah might said, "Remember how pleased Father God was with my Great Grandfather Enoch because he was such a righteous man?"

 

Narrator #2: His wife might have stated, "Yes, Enoch did such a great job faithfully following all of Father God's directions that he got to go straight to Heaven without having to die first."


Narrator #1: Noah might have said, "Well, ..., uh, ..., that's kind of what will happen to us. Father God said He will reward us because I am such a righteous, blameless, and guilt-free man."

 

Narrator #2: His wife might have said, "Oh, Noah! I am so proud of you! What is your reward?"


Narrator #1: Nervously, Noah might have said, "Uh, ..., well... Father God is going to give me one hundred years to build a giant boat called an ark."

 

Narrator #2: His wife might have said, "That's your reward?!! Huh! What does Father God intend for you to do with an ark?"


Narrator #1: Noah might have quickly said, "The ark is going to keep all of us safe, plus the wives that our sons will eventually marry.

 

Narrator #2: Noah adds, "The ark will also preserve a male and female of each kind of animal."


Narrator #1: His wife may have asked, "What are you talking about? What is Father God intending to save us from?"

 

Narrator #2: Noah might have said, "You see, Father God is filled with anger that all the other people are so wicked, corrupt, and violent. "


Narrator #1: Noah would explain, "So, ..., one hundred years from now, Father God intends to cover the earth with a giant flood that will drown everybody but us."

 

Narrator #2: We can imagine that his wife and young sons might have started to cry in amazement, confusion, and fright.


Narrator #1: His wife might have asked, "But what about your father and grandfather? They are good men!"

 

Narrator #2: Noah might have stated, "Father God said that they will die of old age before the flood covers the earth."


Narrator #1: His wife might have asked, "How will you know how to build this ark? After all, you have never done anything like that before."

 

Narrator #2: Noah might have said, "Father God plans to tell me everything I need to know to keep us safe and protected during this worldwide flood."


Narrator #1: Over the next hundred years, Noah, his sons, and perhaps his father and grandfather worked together to build this giant ark.

 

Narrator #2: This ark was 510 feet long. In other words, it was the length of one and a half football fields.


Narrator #1: This ark was 85 feet wide. In other words, it was about the width of two school buses.

 

Narrator #2: If you picture three full-grown giraffes standing one on top of the other, that is how tall this three-story ark was. It was full of rooms, food, and water.


Narrator #1: Thank goodness all people and animals were still vegetarians. That way, the animals wouldn't eat each other or Noah's family.

 

Narrator #2: Next week, we will hear about the completed ark, the gathering of the animals, and the giant flood that covered the earth.

Bible tale: Noah part 1 of 6

 

Noah part 1 of 6

Genesis 5:32 to 6:22

re-told by Debbie Dunn









Story highlights:

* Noah’s wife gave birth to Japheth-Shem-Ham when Noah was 500 

* God gave Noah 100 years to build ark before worldwide flood.

* Noah’s Ark and worldwide flood took place 1,656 years after birth of Adam.


Bible role-play begins:


Narrator #1: Some good things and some terrifying things happened to Noah around the time he turned 500.

 

Narrator #2: Three of the good things that happened was that Noah's wife gave birth to three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth [ja-fuhth].

 





 Father God: Noah, you have found favor in my sight. Just like your great grandfather Enoch, I declare that you are a righteous man. I will reward you for being blameless, innocent, and guilt-free.


Narrator #1: Wow! That must have made Noah feel very happy to know his good words and actions pleased Father God.

 

Narrator #2: Then Father God said something puzzling and so scary that the little hairs must have raised on Noah's arms. His heart must have beat extra fast in fear.

 

 

Father God: Noah, my people have allowed the devil to tempt them into doing nothing but sin. Only you are free of blame. As for the rest, they are deserving of my wrath.


Narrator #1: Noah might have stuttered as he said, "Oh-oh-oh, no! Th-th-that is awful! Wh-wh-what is going to happen?"

 

Narrator #2: Full of sorrow, Father God softly said:

 

 Father God: Noah, I regret that I created human beings. They have spiraled out of control into nothing but wickedness. 


Narrator #1: Hearing this, Noah might have found tears pooling in his eyes. His legs might have even felt so weak that he fell to his knees when Father God stated:

 

 Father God: I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds, and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.

 

Narrator #2: Fearfully, Noah might have said, "Father God, I thought you were going to reward me. But instead, it sounds like you are going to destroy me and my family."

 

 Father God: Be at peace, Noah! You and your family will be safe. As for the rest, I am going to put an end to every single one of these violent and corrupt people.


Narrator #1: Oh, no! How was Father God planning to destroy them? Just listen to what Father God says next:

 

 Father God: Noah, I will give you 100 years to build a giant boat called an ark. You will need this because a massive flood will cover the entire earth.

 

Narrator #2: Noah might have been very confused since he had never witnessed anything like that before.


Narrator #1: Noah might have said: "Father God, other than an inch or two of rain we get on stormy days, I have trouble picturing a giant flood."

 

Narrator #2: Noah might have reminded himself that Father God could do anything.


Narrator #1: So, Noah declared, "Of course, I know all things are possible to the one who created the entire earth and everything in it."

 

Narrator #2: Then, Noah might have said, "Uh, …, Father God, you know I have never built a boat before? How will I do it? "

 

 Father God: Don't worry, Noah! I will tell you everything you need to know about how to make it big and safe enough to house you, your wife, your three sons, the women they marry, and a male and female of every kind of animal.


Narrator #1: In the fall of 2024, you probably saw videos of the floods that swept away houses, buildings, cars, trucks, people, and animals in Western North Carolina.

 

Narrator #2: Now multiply that horrible flood by a thousand.


Narrator #1: When Noah turned 600, the flood would be so deep that it would cover the tallest trees and the highest mountains.  

 

Narrator #2: That was the terrifying fate that would happen to all those who refused to follow God's directions.


Narrator #1: Sadly, these people allowed the devil to tempt them into saying and doing nothing but wicked sins.

 

Narrator #2: Noah might have tried to get them to repent and change their wicked ways.


Narrator #1: But obviously, that did not happen.  

 

Narrator #2: Next week, we will hear about this massive flood that covered the earth when our long-ago Grandpa Noah was 600 years old.

Bible tale: Moses role-play - part 15 of 15

 Moses part 15 of 15

Exodus 33 to 40

re-told by Debbie Dunn











Story Highlights:

* A punishing plague was 1 consequence of worshiping golden calf

* Israelites learned to only worship God rather than false idols 

* Moses returned up Mt. Sinai to carve 10 commandments on 2 stone tablets 


Bible role-play begins:


Narrator #1: After Moses' return from the top of Mt. Sinai, when he burnt and ground up that golden false idol calf, the Children of Israel felt afraid.

 

Narrator #2: First, Moses had poured the gold powder into water and forced them to drink it, digest it, and poop out that false god.


Narrator #1: Second, some of the Ringleaders, those noisy troublemakers, had either gotten very sick or died in that punishing plague.

 

Narrator #2: Third, God Himself made this startling announcement to the Children of Israel:





 Father God: Go up to this land that flows with milk and honey. But I will not travel among you, for you are a stubborn and rebellious people. If I did, I would surely destroy you along the way.


Narrator #1: When the people heard these stern words, they went into mourning and stopped wearing their jewelry and fine clothes.

 

Narrator #2: Many of them began to comprehend that they had to make a choice. EITHER, they could align themselves with the Chant Leaders who tried to lead them into doing what is right and good.


Narrator #1: OR, they could continue to rebel by aligning themselves with the Ringleaders who tried to peer-pressure them into going against God's 10 commandments.

 


















Narrator #2: In the same way, each of us has to make that choice daily. Will we say and do what is right?


Narrator #1: OR, will we rebel by going against our conscience, by saying and doing what we know to be wrong, mean, hurtful, or cruel?

 

Narrator #2: Nevertheless, even though God was angry with the Children of Israel for daring to break His first two commandments, He still provided plenty of water to drink and manna bread to eat.


Narrator #1: In other words, just like a parent who might punish you when you act in ways that are not appropriate, God never stops pouring out His everlasting Love, with a capital L, for each of us - no matter what we have thought, said, or done.

 

Narrator #2: Who recalls the wording of the first commandment?                 (Answer listed at end of this role-play)


Narrator #1: Who recalls the wording of the second commandment?                  (Answer listed at end of this role-play)

 

Narrator #2: One day, Moses prayed to God and said these very words.




MOSES: Lord, if it is true that you look favorably on me, remember that this nation is your very own people.


 Father God: All right, Moses. I will personally go with you and everything will be fine for you.

 

MOSES: Lord, if you don't personally go with us, don't make us leave this place. Otherwise, how will anyone know that you look favorably on your people and on me—if you don't go with us? Your presence among us sets your people and me apart from all other people on the earth.


 Father God: Moses, I will indeed do what you have asked, for I look favorably on you, and I know you by name.


Narrator #1: Then God told Moses to chisel out two new stone tablets and return to the top of Mt. Sinai.

 

Narrator #2: This time, when Moses left for another 40 days and 40 nights, no one dared to be a negative Ringleader while Moses was gone.


Narrator #1: At the end of that time, Moses returned with the stone tablets listing the 10 commandments.

 

Narrator #2: Moses was not aware that his face glowed. His big brother Aaron and the people of Israel felt afraid. Moses said to them:


MOSES: Don't be afraid. It is me, Moses. The Lord our God has given us directions for creating a Tabernacle tent that will be our place to worship Him. Almighty God has also given us a set of 613 rules to follow, including the 10 commandments. As long as we do our best to follow God's directions, He will be our God, and we will be His special people.


Narrator #1: When Moses finished speaking with them, he covered his face with a veil. He would only uncover his glowing face when he returned to speak with the Lord.

 

Narrator #2: For quite some time, the people of Israel followed all of the Lord's instructions to Moses. As a result, Moses and God were pleased with their efforts.


END OF SKIT. Let's give our volunteers a great big hand!
