SUGGESTED DATE:week of September 4

LEADER BIBLE STUDY The most basic question for science and philosophy is, “How did the universe begin?”

In the 20th century, secular astronomers came to the undisputed conclusion that the

entire universe (time, space, matter, and energy) had a beginning from nothing. But

they cannot, in any way, explain how.

Genesis 1:1 gives the only reasonable answer to the “how” question—God

created everything. God revealed that the universe exists because He brought it into

existence from nothing. The Hebrew word translated “created” is bara, which means

“specially created” (it is also used twice for mankind’s creation in verse 27).

Beyond that initial creation event, Genesis 1–2 outlines the six-day progression

God followed to create the earth. We will look at the first four days in this session.

Initially the earth was dark and formless over the waters. So the Spirit of God created

light, which established days and nights. On day two, He formed the sky. On day

three, dry land emerged. He called the land earth and the waters seas. God made

plants and trees and declared them good. On day four, God opened the skies to

reveal the sun, moon, and stars to light the earth. The sun was to have dominion over

the day, and the moon governed the night. The stars also shone brightly, and God

saw it was good.

Why can’t science tell us how the universe was made? ��

________________________________________________________________

Why is it necessary for God to reveal how the universe was made? ��

How was God’s declaration that His creation is good reflective of His holy nature?

GROUP TIME ►Move to music. Play “God Made a Beautiful World” (track 2). Guide preschoolers to

form a circle (earth) and spin slowly left and right as a group.

►Tell the Bible story. Choose a child to open your Bible to the Book of Genesis. Tell

the children that Genesis is the first book in the Bible. Display the time line. Point to

each number on the time line as you tell the Bible story. Emphasize that God created

the world in six days. Comment that today you will learn about the first four days.

GOD MADE THE WORLD—Based on Genesis 1:1-19

In the beginning God made the world. The world was first dark and empty. God

said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. He called the light day and the

dark night. He made the first morning, the first evening, and the first day.

On the second day, God separated the water. The area between the water

was called sky. The night came and then a new morning.

On the third day, God spoke and created dry land. He called the dry land

earth and the gathering of the water seas. He then created all kinds of trees

and plants. He made trees that grow fruit and plants that grow seed. He saw it

was good. The night came and a new day.

On the fourth day, God said, “Let there be lights in the sky.” He made the

moon and stars to give light at night. He made a brighter light, the sun, to

give light for the day. God looked at everything He created and saw it was good.

►Review the Bible story and learn the Bible Verses. Choose a child to attach the

corresponding time line pictures to day 1. Continue with the time line through day

4, reviewing what God made each day. Display the Unit and Weekly Verse Markers.

Mention that today both Bible Verses are the same. Lead the preschoolers to say the

Bible Verse while giving a thumbs-up sign after each picture is attached to the time

line. Mention that Jesus taught the people that God cares about His creation.

►Play a game and pray. Point to the yellow and black papers on the walls. Explain

that the preschoolers need to decide if what you say is seen or done during the night

or day. Practice with the word sleep. Direct the children to move to the black paper

because we usually sleep at night. Continue the game with these words: play at park,

stars, owl sleeps, moon, sun, go to church, ride your bike. Lead the children in prayer by

saying, “I am thankful for �� (something God made).”

►Wrap it up. Talk about the children’s favorite nature items. Sing “God Made You and

Me” (track 1). Option: Show the video “God Made the World: Life Action.”

Missions in West Africa

Missionary: Kimberly Cain

Jesus loves all children everywhere and wants them

to learn about Him. Kimberly Cain in West Africa loves

children and tells them about Jesus.

Sometimes Kimberly teaches children as they sit on mats

on the dusty ground. Sometimes she teaches children

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 storytelling cloth to tell stories from the

Bible. Each picture on the cloth is about a different Bible

story. Kimberly tells children the Bible stories so they can

grow up knowing Jesus and telling others about Him.

Pray

• For missionaries to learn the new language

• For missionaries to adjust to a new culture and year-

round hot temperatures

• For the children of West Africa to learn to follow Jesus

and tell others
