3 Bible Passage Genesis 1:1 2:3 Level of Biblical Learning (Creation) God created the world from nothing. Bible Truth God created everything. Life Application I can know that God created the world from nothing. Memory Verse In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Genesis 1:1 (KJV) In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1 (HCSB) Week of March 7, 2010 In the Beginning Personal Bible Study No matter what Bible version you use, almost all begin with these words: In the beginning God The word translated formless is the Hebrew tohu and means formlessness, confusion, unreality, emptiness and has been translated as chaos, confusion, desolation, meaningless, or futile things. God didn t just create the world. He gave a cosmic object lesson of what He can do. On the surface, just reading the words of Genesis 1 is like surviving a hurricane and saying, It was windy. For just a moment, meditate on the enormity of what happened. Hold a blank sheet of paper in your hand. Now make something out of it. The possibilities could have me staring into space for hours. And, to think, I started with something; God began with nothing. God spoke and all the details came instantly to completion. At His command there were colors, textures, circulatory systems, brain functions, and planet rotations that are so set and predictable that their locations in the sky have served as GPS devices long before computers. God was not surprised by any of it. And each and every thing was declared Good! by the One who created it. Now consider the orderliness of God s well-constructed plan. Creation was built from the first rays of light to land foundations, to a full-blown ecosystem. With each living element of creation, God designed and directed its purpose. Every theory that counters the biblical account of creation is just that theory that cannot be proven by any scientific method. On the seventh day God rested. When I was a child, Sundays were predictable: Sunday School, worship, lunch, Mom and Dad took a nap. (We had to play quietly.) Today Sunday looks more like just another day. The root of the word shabbat is cease and desist type rest. I think we are missing God s message. God s plan includes a day to cease and desist from the average, ordinary daily upkeep that is our life routine. God blessed and declared this day as set apart from the others. It is God s invitation to stop what you re doing and concentrate on Him. The kids you teach may be coming from a variety of experiences. You have the opportunity to focus on the awesomeness of God and the truth in His Word. Lead the children you teach to praise God the Creator and celebrate His wonderful creation. 6 Bible Teaching for Grades 1-3 and 4-6

4 God Created the World In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Imagine a time when everything was black. Darkness was everywhere. God looked out over the darkness and said, Let there be light, and there was light. God named the light day and the darkness night. This was the first day. On the second day God separated the waters and placed the sky between. On the third day God told the water to gather together. Dry land appeared, and God called it earth. He called the waters seas. God saw it was good. He said that the earth should grow trees and other plants with seeds. On the fourth day God created the lights in the sky the sun to rule in the day and the moon to rule in the night. God also created the stars. God saw that it was good. On the fifth day God said, Let the waters be filled with living animals and let the birds fly above the earth. God created the fish and the birds and saw that it was good. On the sixth day God created the animals that live on the land and all things that crawled on the earth. He saw that it was good. Next God made man in His own likeness, to rule over all of the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, and the animals on the earth. God saw all that He had made and was very pleased. Everything was complete. So God rested on the seventh day. He blessed the seventh day and said that it would be holy, because He rested from His work on this day. Genesis 1:1 2:3 P R E P A R E T O T E A C H Grades 1-3 Grades 4-6 Preview and Power Up: A large piece of colored paper, play dough Plug In: Pack Items 1, 14, 15, and 16 Personalize (Choice 1): Several flower seed packages, one egg carton per child, potting soil, strips of paper Personalize (Choice 2): Pack Item 14, mailing labels, empty plastic drinking bottles, small funnels, star sequins, silver and blue glitter, measuring spoons and cups, light corn syrup, warm water General Supplies learner guides tape white paper markers pencils scissors glue construction paper ruler index cards Preview and Power Up: No additional resources are needed.

5 Prepare to Teach Grades 1-3 (Preview): Tape a large piece of colored paper to the wall. Print the words tree, flower, bird, fish, dog, cow, and people randomly around the paper. G r a d e s 1-3 As each child arrives, give him a marker and a piece of white paper. Instruct him to choose a word from the wall and illustrate that word. The boys and girls may draw as many pictures as they would like. When they complete each picture have them attach the picture near the word they chose. Option: Guide the boys and girls to complete Consider using additional pictures as time allows. God s Creation Foam Shapes What does each of these things ( ), represent? Creation Stickers Ask the children to think of what ( ) or each of these things needs in order God s Creation to live and flourish. (Sun, water, Stickers ( ). 1 Preview the food.) Instruct the boys and girls to think of a symbol that represents each need they identified. Choose a child to draw that symbol somewhere on the colored piece of paper. To help kids make the connection that each item they drew needs all of those things to grow and flourish, have the boys and girls use a marker to draw a line from their pictures to each of the symbols drawn. Bible Study Use with children who arrive early. G r a d e s 4-6 Urge the early arrivers to play a game of Simon Says. Explain that the commands will all have to do with finding the books of Law (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy) and that the children should only do what Simon says to do. Start the game by saying: Simon says, Find Exodus. Give the children time to locate the book. Then say: Find Genesis. If no one attempts to locate the book, continue playing, naming a different book of law each time. If a child begins to find the book, he is out and becomes the next Simon. Monitor the game, choosing the next Simon whenever more than one child fails to do what Simon says or does what he does not say. Remind the children to only call out books of Law for this game. Challenge the Simons to add chapters and verses to increase the difficulty of the game. 8 Bible Teaching for Grades 1-3 and 4-6

6 G r a d e s 1-3 Place the balls of play dough on a table. Instruct the children to make some type of animal out of their play dough. Allow the children time to work on their creations. After 3-5 minutes, call time. Each child will tell the others about her creation. Ask the children to create something new from their play dough. Explain that they can create a plant, a different animal, a person, a fruit or vegetable, or something else of their choice. Again, allow the children time to create and tell the others about their creations. God chose to create the world and everything in it. Today you will learn that God created everything out of nothing! Prepare to Teach Grades 1-3 (Power Up): Form equally-sized balls of play dough, one per child.

Guide the children to place the recipe back where they found it and move to the next one. Allow several minutes before revealing the recipe titles. By reading the list of ingredients, which recipes do you think you might be willing to eat? People use many ingredients to make good things to eat. Recipes can not be made out of nothing. Today you are going to learn that God created the world out of nothing! Prepare to Teach Grades 4-6 (Power Up): Copy 8 recipes from a cookbook onto index cards (CD-ROM).
