⛪ Bible Study Title: Restless Ravens and Patient Doves: Learning When to Wait and When to Move

📖 Scripture Reference: Genesis 8:6–12

🗣️ Teacher: Rev. Austin J. Young


After the storm, Noah faced a new challenge: learning how to wait for God’s timing.

The rain had stopped, the thunder had quieted, but the ark door was still shut.

Through the flight of a raven and a dove, God showed Noah—and shows us—how to recognize the difference between restlessness and release, between motion and mission, between activity and anointing.


In this lesson, we’ll explore:

🕊️ How the raven represents restlessness—moving too soon and settling for what’s dead.

🕊️ How the dove represents discernment—waiting until peace can find a place to land.

🕊️ How to tell when God’s “not yet” turns into “now.”
