Old Testament Sunday School – GOD The Magnificent Creator

Mary Kate | | Comments (0)

Here are some ideas to teach your old testament Sunday school lesson on God and the creation of the world. These activities and discussion topics will encourage your 12-14 year olds to understand just how complex the story of Creation is!

Bible Story:
Read the first chapter of Genesis. Go around the room having each student read a section. Before continuing on to the next section, paraphrase what was just read and chart each day’s creation.
Genesis 1: 1 & 2
Genesis 1: 3-5
Genesis 1: 6-8
Genesis 1: 9-13
Genesis 1:14-19
Genesis 1: 20-23
Genesis 1: 24-27

Discussion: about why God made us
Why did God want to make the world, animals and people? Does God want us on earth for a reason? Why did he give us animals and the rest of creation?

Discussion: God ordered creation as He did for a reason. How do you see God ordering your life to keep you on his path? Do you see how God has allowed something to happen?

Activity: compare and contrast
Compare the creation story just read, and what they have been taught in school. Many schools teach evolution only. Help students to see that all of creation is too intricate to have all come from one organism. The Darwin theory is just a theory, discuss what a theory is.
