Spectacular Faith – James 5 – Draw Bible Stories Project

Spectacular Faith Story (James 5)

Team Healing – healer, flame, bed, sick man – When someone is sick or suffering, we gather to pray for them. God moves in power when we pray with faith.

Forgiven & Free – two disciples, dove, crown – We pray knowing that God will help us. We confess and forgive. God blesses the requests of the righteous and faithful.

Elijah’s Faith – prophet, flame, cloud, rain, plant – Elijah prayed for no rain, and Israel endured a long famine. Elijah prayed for relief, and God sent rain and harvest.

Noah’s Flood – Genesis 7-8 – Draw Bible Stories Project

Noah’s Flood Story (Genesis 7-8)

Final Preparations – ark & storm – Noah’s family made final preparations for the flood. They collected all the animals and food on board; then, God sent the storm.

Baptized Mountains – mountain, ocean, ark – God protected the ark as he sent the flood that covered the earth. The oceans rose above the highest mountains.

New Growth – dove & branch – The flood waters slowly receded, and the ark returned to land. As the earth dried, Noah sent birds to search for fresh vegetation.

Fresh Covenant – altar, beast, fire, smoke – God told Noah’s family to leave the ark and release all the animals. Noah built a worship altar and sacrificed burnt offerings. God promised never to send another flood.
