What is God’s Most Important Creation? Memory Verse: Genesis 1:27 Bible Passage: The Creation of Adam and Eve – Genesis 1:25-27; 2:7, 19-25 Missions Emphasis: Kathmandu, Nepal What We Learned: For the next six sessions, kids will be learning what the Bible teaches about people. First, salvation is offered because of what Christ accomplished on the cross. However, people need to understand the reality of their own sin and their need for salvation. Next, all of God’s Word tells of the Covenant relationship He desires with people and the perfect plans He has for people. Knowing what Scripture says about people is the key to knowing ourselves. The following sessions will set a primary foundation for your child’s understanding of sin, self, and the purposed plans of God. Today your child learned that humans are God’s most important creation. Everything that God made was good, but He called humankind “very good.” We are made in God’s image, which means we have the unique ability to give God glory through the way we use our abilities and interact with each other and the world.
At-Home: This week at home, place a poster board on the floor or affix it on a wall or gather at a table and simply pass a piece of paper around. Draw a large oval representing a face. Take turns blindfolding family members. Each person should try to draw one feature of the face: hair, eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, ears, teeth, and so forth. Talk about how amazing it is that God made people in such a special, precise, and perfect way. For deeper discussion, use the following prompts. 1. In your own words, describe how God created people. 2. After reading Genesis 1–2, talk about the differences and similarities in each chapter. Discuss as a family how the two narratives fit together. 3. As a spoiler for next week, ask your son or daughter why Adam and Eve were totally unashamed.
