Lesson 1 - Creation

After completing this lesson, the children will understand that God created the heavens and the earth. Memory Work - Genesis 1:1; Scripture Reading and Disucssion - Genesis 1:1-23.

Application: Just as a pencil, a watch, and a dictionary has a creator (man), so it is with the heavens and the earth. They wer created by God. It would be silly to think that a watch would come together if we randomly threw gears and springs into the air. It's just as silly to think that the heavens and the earth came together by chance or an unexpected big bang. There is too much order and design in the world even to consider that it all came together by accident. We should thank God and worship Him for creating us.

Lesson 2 - The Garden of Eden

After completing this lesson, the children will gain an understanding of how beautiful the world is and the wonder and majesty of God's creation. Memory Work - Genesis 1:31a; Scripture Reading and Disucssion - Genesis 1:26-31; 2:8-17.

Application: Can you imagine a world in which everything was perfect? Perfect weather, perfect food and even perfect work? A world without hatred, sickness, or death? The Bible says, "God saw all that He had made, and it was very good." God created the perfect environment and blessed man with it. Take time each day to talk to God, ask Him questions about His beautiful creation. Enjoy God's wonderful creations and be sure to thank Him regularly for the many blessings He has given us.  

Lesson 3 - The Fall

After finishing this lesson, children will understand that sin is deceptively beautiful at first, but that there is always a price to pay for disobedience. They will also see why God allowed mankind to fall. Memory Work - Genesis 4:7b; Scripture Reading and Discussion - Genesus 2:15-17, 3:1-24.

Application: God loves us very much; He gave us rules and laws to protect us and to make our world a better place to live. When we disobey, or sin, there are consequences. Every person has sinned or disobeyed God. It is because of sin that people die. However, there is Good News! God loves us so much that He sent His one and only son Jesus to die in our place, to die for our sins. After three days, Jesus rose from the dead. That's right; He came back to life and is now seated at the right hand of God. When we are sorry for being disobedient to God, we can ask Him to forgive us for our sins and He will because of what Jesus did for us. Now that's Good News!
