1 THE FIRST FAMILY LIFE POINT: God made families. CREATION LEVEL OF BIBLICAL LEARNING God wants me to praise Him for His creation. BIBLE PASSAGE Genesis 4:1-7 WEEKLY VERSE Show love to family members. Romans 12:10 UNIT VERSE In the beginning God made the world. Genesis 1:1 LEADER BIBLE STUDY Amusement parks are popular destinations for families. They are loaded with exciting rides, cartoon characters walking about, and even some educational exhibits. It is intriguing sometimes just to sit and watch young families scurrying through the park. Moms and dads wheel their little ones around in strollers while older kids run everywhere. The nuclear family has been the norm for humanity since the beginning. In the previous session, we examined the creation of the first man and his wife. In chapter 3, the man was called Adam, and he named his wife Eve. Even though Adam and Eve sinned and suffered the consequences of their sin against God (Genesis 3), they began a family. Soon their family, like most others since, began to experience problems. Adam and Eve had two sons, Cain and Abel. The younger, Abel, became a shepherd, and Cain became a farmer. At some point in time, Cain made an offering of some of his crops to God. Abel also made an offering of some of the firstborn of his flock. For a reason that is not explained, God accepted Abel s offering but rejected Cain s. The rejection angered Cain. God saw that Cain was angry and tried to warn him of the dangers of unchecked sin. Unfortunately, the situation got much worse (Genesis 4:8-9). Why do children of the same parents often take different paths in life? What do we as believers in Christ have, unlike Cain, to help us control our emotions and resist temptation? (See Galatians 5:16-25.) NOTE: Downloadable versions of items identified as CD are available in the Music and Print Extras Bundle. Items identified as DVD are available in the Digital Video Bundle.

26 LEARNING THE STORIES West Africa KIMBERLY CAIN Children all over the world are important to Jesus. He loves them and wants them to learn about Him when they are very young. Christian workers, like Kimberly Cain in West Africa, love the children like Jesus does. Sometimes Kimberly teaches kids as they sit on mats on the dusty ground. Sometimes she teaches kids at a local church where the roof is made of woven grass. That church building might not look like yours, but the children in West Africa are learning the same stories from the Bible that you are! Kimberly uses a storying cloth to tell stories from the Bible. Each picture on the cloth tells a story. Kimberly tells children the story of creation and continues with stories about Jesus so children can grow up knowing Him and telling others about Him. Ways to pray for the people and missionaries in West Africa: Pray that missionaries will be willing and able to learn the language spoken by the people so they can tell the people about Jesus. Pray for missionaries as they adjust to a different culture in a part of the world where the temperature stays very hot all year. Pray that the children of West Africa will learn to follow Jesus at a young age. Bible Studies For Life Kindergarten, Fall LifeWay. Published in the United States of America
