Bible Story of Noah’s Ark
Noah was a faithful servant who walked with God in the midst of an increasingly evil world. As recorded in Genesis, Noah obeyed God’s command to build a massive ark in order to save his family and animals from a worldwide Flood that would sweep across and wipe out planet Earth. When the Great Flood was over, those who survived on the Ark repopulated the earth.
