Passages: Genesis 1; Revelation 4:11
Big Idea: God spoke and a beautiful world was made. God is amazing!
Ages: 1-2
Twenty lessons for 1 and 2 year olds exploring God's effortless creation of our amazing world. Note: both Cycle A and Cycle B are included in the one pack (ten lessons per cycle).
Genesis explores the beginning of everything - everything except God. No one created God. He is from everlasting to everlasting. The Bible could’ve begun and ended on these words. ‘In the beginning God’ full stop. But God chose to continue the sentence. He created a world, a world that he loved. A world he knew, as he created it, he’d end up dying for.
Genesis 1:1-25 speaks of the beginning of this world and the effortless way God brings his world into existence. His words breathe forth creation in all its glory. God is ordered in how he creates and generous in what he creates. Everything is very, very good. From nothing, just by speaking, God brings into existence a world that is complex, beautiful and awe inspiring. He is indeed an awesome God, who deserves our praise.
