September 13 - Middle School
What we’re learning this week:
The Bible is a big book and can feel challenging to understand, but did you know it tells one story? During this series, we will look at each major scene of the story and, use the animal that represents that scene as a visual to show our students that they can understand the story of God!
As we begin this series, we are going to explore the first chapter of the story of God: Creation. When we walk through the creation story, marvel at how wonderfully complex something as simple-seeming as a woodpecker really is, and consider the God behind it all, we will be even more blown away that WE are the wonder of God’s creation.
Bottom Line: God is beautiful, powerful, and infinitely wise; and He decided to make you.
Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:1, Genesis 1-2
Series Key Verse:
All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives
2 Timothy 3:16a
