    A different look at the story of The Flood and Rainbow. How the rainbow reminds us of God’s grace restrains Him from doing what He COULD do, but chooses NOT to do. What we learn from the story about judgment and justice.

    Is there anyone here this morning who hasn’t at least heard something about Noah and The Flood?

    Why does our way of expressing love change so much over time.

    I love you but… 1 Corinthians 13:4-8A The word “Love” has been distorted to mean a lot less that I think it should. It happens so innocently and easily.
