I Am Special To God – Lesson 6
Circle Time Opening prayer
Hello song.
Introduction to Bible Lesson
Each one of us is very special to God. Before we were created, God loved us so much that he created this special world for us. He thought about everything we would ever need and included it in the world he made.
What did God create on the first day? (light)
What did God create on the second day? (sky)
What did God create on the third day? (land, plants, trees, flowers)
What did God create on the fourth day? (sun, moon, stars)
What did God create on the fifth day? (fish, birds)
What did God create the sixth day? (animals, people)
On the seventh day of creation, God saw all was good and the world was complete. Then he rested. Today we are going to spend time reviewing what we have learned in the past 5 lessons.Bible Lesson
God loved us so much that he planned this special world for us. On day one he created light. He gave us light so that we could see. On day 2 God created sky. He gave us air so that we could breath. On day three God created land, plants , and trees. He gave us land to walk on and plants so we could eat. On day four God created the sun, the moon and the stars. He created sun, moon and stars so we could tell seasons and time. On day five God created fish and birds. he created fish and birds so that we look at the beauty around us. On day 6 God created animals and people. He created animals to be our friends. He saw everything was good and the world was ready. Then he created people. He was made this world specifically for you and for me. Then, on day seven, he rested.
When God created the world, he made a special garden and called it a special name: He called the world the Garden of Eden. God also gave a special name to the very first man and the very first woman he created. He named them Adam and Eve.
Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden with God. They were given the task of naming the animals and taking care of the plants and trees and all the living things in the garden. They ate of all of the trees and plants except for the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This was the only thing God asked of them. But they decided to disobey God and eat from the tree. As a result, they ended up not being able to live in the garden any more. They were sent further out into the world God created and could not live with God anymore because they had sinned. But – God had a special plan. He planned to give a special gift to all people, including you and me, so that we could live with him once again. We will hear about our special gift from God next week.
