Noah and the Big Boat
The world was full of wrongdoing, but Noah walked with God. God told Noah to build a huge ark and bring his family and two of every kind of animal inside. It rained for forty days and forty nights. When the water went down, Noah sent out a dove, and it came back with an olive leaf. God set a rainbow in the clouds as a promise never to flood the whole earth again.
Key verse
I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.Genesis 9:13 (KJV)
