Hey kids and people of faith, its pastor Chad.

We have been learning numbers and counting together to help us learn Bible stories and Bible teaching about God, his world and Jesus - and today’s number is six.

For SIX DAYS God was busy creating the world, everything!

In Exodus 20:11 it says - 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. ESV

Genesis 1:1-3 SAYS - In the beginning God created the sky and the earth. 2 The earth was empty and had no form. Darkness covered the ocean, and God’s Spirit was moving over the water. 3 Then God said, “Let there be light!” And there was light. ICB

• At first, when God created the earth, the earth was a dark place. But God filled the darkness with light.
• The earth was also an empty place – God filled the emptiness with plants, trees, fishes, birds and all the animals.
• God created everything out of nothing.
• He SPOKE and everything came to be.

Isaiah 45:18 - 18 For thus says the Lord, who created the heavens
(he is God!), who formed the earth and made it
(he established it; he did not create it empty,
he formed it to be inhabited!): “I am the Lord, and there is no other. ESV
It is easy to remember the order in which God created the world. First He created the scenery/the places where all His creatures would live and then he created those creatures and life (animals and man) and then God put them in the places where they would live and eat and multiply.
Day 1: Light/Darkness – Day/Night – vv.1-5
Day 2: Sky/Heavens – vv.6-8
Day 3: Dry ground/Dirt/Earth & plants, trees; Seas – vv.9-13
Day 4: Sun, moon & stars – vv.14-19
Day 5: Birds & sea animals – vv.20-23
Day 6: Land animals & humans – Tall skinny giraffes and furry little squirrels. He made cuddly little kittens and big, ferocious lions -- animals of every kind. Then God made man and woman. The Bible says He made people to in his image and likeness - and God put mankind in charge of all that He had created -- the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and every living creature. vv.24-31

Jeremiah 32:17 Oh, Lord God, you made the skies and the earth. You made them with your very great power. There is nothing too wonderful for you to do. ICB

IN ONLY SIX DAYS – God created and did amazing things. He created people like you and me – so we can love and worship Him. I’ll see you next time.
