Lectionary Preaching Workbook
Humankind became so corrupt that Yahweh had to destroy it
except for eight people in Noah's family. In obedience to
Yahweh's orders, Noah built an ark as a means of saving them and
every earthly creature. Eventually the flood subsided and the ark
was emptied of its contents. What now? Yahweh comes to Noah with
a covenant in which he promises never again to destroy the world
by water, the sign of which is the rainbow. Yahweh gives humanity
a second chance.
