THE WORLD CREATED BY OUR HEAVENLY FATHER

Teachers to read bible scripture: <Gen 1:1-26>
Children to memorize bible scripture: <Gen 1:3>

1. God said, and it was so!

1) Emphasis: God is the Creator who can do all things [Whatever He said was fulfilled…]
2) Relate: Whatever you see now (people, trees, flowers, grass, table, car) are all
created by God
3) Practical lesson: Therefore, there is no need to fear (darkness, animals, insects);
because all these are created for us by God!

2. There is an order to God’s creation

1) Emphasis: Fishes have to swim in water, trees have to be rooted in the soil, birds
have to fly in the sky and hence, man must live in God to have freedom, joy and
health!
2) Relate: Why do you always see people (e.g. father, mother, friends, or even
yourselves) being unhappy? [Ask: Does it happen?]
Qns:Is it because nobody loves them, nobody plays with them? No toys? No friends?
Being beaten by parents? No!
Ans: Because I do not see that God loves me, I do not see that God is helping me
and I do not see that God is always with me.
3) Practical lesson: Therefore, how is God together with me today?
Ans: Through my parents who love me, brothers and sisters, the church, learning in
school, school teachers, friends, playtime …

3. Actually, the most beautiful and most beloved creation of God: is Me!
1) Emphasis: God only lives in men, to always love them and to help them!
2) Relate: Today, if we believe in Jesus Christ, God is always together with us, He loves
us forever and will never leave us. Is it the same for my father, mother, brothers and
sisters? If they have not known Jesus Christ, do tell them when you go home today!
3) Practical lesson: Therefore, I should pray (talk) daily to my God who loves me and
helps me
Qns: [Ask them if they have things to pray to Jesus now] [Prompt them]
Ans: Tell them how Jesus Christ has already solved their problems or tell them
Jesus’ plan in their situation.
