What we learned today

Big Idea: God Made Our World (part 2)

Genesis 1v1—2v3. In six days, God created our world. Everything from the heavens and earth to the animals and people who inhabit it—the Lord created them all. On the seventh day He rested. God has entrusted His creation to our care.

Where we’re headed next time

Big Idea: God Made People (part 1)

Genesis 1v26–31; 2v4–25. On the sixth day, God gave the first person the breath of life. God named him Adam. The Lord saw that it was not good for humans to be alone, so He created Eve. Adam and Eve lived in a beautiful garden where they walked and talked with God.

Dig into God’s Word

• Read Genesis 2v7; 2v18–23. Remind your children that God made them and loves them.

Connect as a family

Your child may enjoy gazing at his own reflection. As he does so, remind him that God made him and all of the people in the world.

• Who made you?

• God made you!

Blessing

Blessings are often used in the Bible. A blessing can be a prayer of commission, a portion of Scripture, or words to encourage and guide.

Open a Bible and read Psalm 139v14a: “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”
