Look at this. 02:26 But what's this in the middle, boys and girls? 02:30 It's a scroll. 02:31 And these are the ancient scriptures. 02:35 These tell us all the things 02:37 that we need to know about God and salvation, 02:41 and this tells us 02:43 where we all actually came from. 02:45 Now, boys and girls, before we open this up, 02:48 I want to ask you a question. 02:50 Where did you come from? 02:53 Angel, where did you come from? 02:55 Do you think you came from a leopard? 03:00 Anyone here related to a cheetah? 03:02 How would a monkey? Do you look like a monkey? 03:04 No. 03:07 Where did you come from, Scarlet? 03:09 I came from God. 03:10 You came from God. 03:12 Yes, that is good. 03:13 But more directly, you came from 03:15 your mommy and daddy, 03:17 would you agree with that? 03:19 And where did your mommy and daddy come from? 03:22 Their mommy and daddy. 03:24 And where did they come from? 03:26 Their mommy and daddy, 03:27 and it goes back, and it goes back, 03:29 and it goes back, and it goes back 03:30 and back until we come to who? 03:32 Adam and Eve. That's right, Hannah. 03:35 And now, where did Adam and Eve come from? 03:38 God. God, that's exactly right. 03:41 Here in the ancient scriptures, we have the Book of Genesis, 03:45 the book of what? 03:47 Genesis. Genesis. 03:48 And in the English we say, 03:50 in the beginning God created 03:53 but because I am Hebrew, 03:57 and my name is Uncle Aron, 03:59 Aharon, I'm going to say the Hebrew for you, 04:02 and we're going to see if we can learn it together. 04:04 It says, "Bereshit Bara Elohim." 04:08 That means, in the beginning God created. 04:12 Can you say that together with me? 04:13 Bereshit Bara Elohim That's good. 04:19 That's really good. Bereshit Bara Elohim. 04:22 In the beginning, God created. 04:25 Now, who can tell me 04:28 what God created on the first day? 04:30 It says, "In the beginning, 04:32 God created the heavens and the earth. 04:34 And the earth was without form and void, 04:37 and darkness covered the face of the deep." 04:39 But there was the Holy Spirit 04:42 that was doing what over the waters? 04:44 He was hovering. 04:45 He was hovering over the waters. 04:47 And then God said, "Let there be light." 04:51 And there was what? Light. 04:53 And there was light. Isn't that amazing? 04:56 Wow. Light. 04:57 Yeah. That's incredible. 04:59 What a great God we have. 05:01 Who can tell me what God created on day two? 05:05 Okay, reps be ready to run. 05:07 Okay, Scarlet? 05:09 And I think they created the water in the land. 05:14 Yes. 05:16 God separated the waters 05:19 from the waters and there's this. 05:20 It's sometimes it's a confusing word that 05:22 we don't use too often, but it's called the firmament. 05:26 That's a fancy word for the sky. 05:29 It's also called the atmosphere. 05:31 Right? So God is doing amazing things. 05:33 Firstly, let there be light so that everyone can see. 05:36 Right? 05:37 The angels above what God was doing here on earth. 05:40 That's awesome. The sky. 05:43 What do we use the sky for? 05:45 Have you guys ever flown a kite? 05:46 Yeah. Right? 05:48 You take it off in the sky 05:49 and then it highlights the beauty of God there. 05:52 That's beautiful. 05:53 Now, what did God create on day three of creation? 05:57 Anyone here? Yeah. 05:59 Plants. Plants. 06:01 That's right. 06:03 But before God could create plants, 06:05 what did He have to do, 06:06 because right at this point, there's only water. 06:09 What do plants grow on? 06:11 Land. Land, earth. 06:13 That's exactly right. 06:14 And so God called forth dry land. 06:19 And He made room for there to be land 06:21 and then He brought forth vegetation 06:24 and grass and trees. 06:26 You're exactly right. 06:28 So these first three days 06:29 of creation are a wonderful days. 06:33 Now who can tell me 06:35 what happened on the fourth day of creation? 06:39 Day four, Ben? 06:42 The stars and planets. That's right. 06:45 It says that He created the sun to rule 06:49 what, the day or the night? 06:51 The day. 06:52 The sun to rule the day, and the moon to rule the what? 06:55 Night. The night. 06:56 And He also created the stars. 06:58 You guys like the stars? 07:00 Oh, I love to go out and look at the stars. 07:02 Yeah. It makes me feel closer to God. 07:05 Oh, yeah, that's amazing. Me too. 07:07 Okay, now we're going to go to day five of creation. 07:10 Who can tell me now? 07:11 Yes, back to you. You said it before. 07:13 The fish and the birds. 07:15 That's exactly right. 07:16 The fish, the sea creatures, the birds. 07:18 That's good. 07:20 All right, let's go on 07:21 to the next day of creation day. 07:23 What day are we on, kids? 07:24 Sixth day, sixth in creation. 07:26 What did God create on day six? 07:29 Okay, let's go right here. 07:30 Adam and Eve. 07:33 He created the animals. 07:35 This is my favorite part. 07:36 Oh, this is your favorite part. Wow. 07:38 And God created the humans on day six as well as 07:41 the land animals and something amazing happen 07:45 in Genesis 1 there. 07:48 God said, "Let us make man in His own image." 07:52 Does that mean we look like God? 07:54 In a way. 07:56 Ultimately, we don't know exactly what God looks like. 07:59 But we can look like God in our character, 08:02 we can be loving, kind, right? 08:06 It's such a wonderful time. I want to look like Him. 08:08 Who here wants to look like God? 08:10 That's right. We were made in His image. 08:12 And God wants us to act like Him, 08:14 to be like Him and to love like Him. 08:16 Now, this is my favorite part of the story too. 08:18 Thanks for bringing that out, Olivia. 08:20 Because now when we get to Genesis 2, 08:23 what happens there is that well, 08:24 let me take a close look, just to remind myself. 08:27 Whoa, look at the scroll. 08:29 You see the ancient Hebrew. 08:31 Okay, now, we're coming to Genesis 2:7. 08:36 This is one of my favorite verses 08:37 in the whole Bible. 08:38 Does anyone here happen to know Genesis 2:7? 08:43 It says, "That God formed man 08:47 out of" what? 08:50 "The dust of the ground 08:51 and He breathed into his nostrils" what? 08:55 "The breath of life and man 08:57 became a living being or a living soul." 09:01 Now, this is my absolute favorite part 09:02 because check this out. 09:04 When God first created the light, 09:08 or He created the sun and the moon, 09:09 or the giraffe, how did He create it? 09:14 He said, Let there be what? 09:16 Let's be animals and there was animals. 09:19 He said, Let there be dry land and what was there? 09:23 Dry land. Right? 09:25 God is using His words, His speech, 09:28 He's speaking things straight into existence. 09:31 Anyone here ever tried to create something 09:34 into existence out of speaking it? 09:36 No. Because that that's silly. 09:40 It wouldn't work but God has the powers of creation. 09:44 And God can say, let there be a new heart 09:47 and He can give us a new heart. 09:49 God can say, let there be a giraffe 09:51 and there's a giraffe. 09:52 But all of these things when you speak, 09:54 this involves a distance, right? 09:57 Let there be and then over there, 09:59 there's a creation. 10:00 But when God came to make beings 10:03 in His own image, 10:04 He decided to get down on His knees if God has knees. 10:09 That's I would say is my favorite part. 10:11 Yeah, He got down and He got His hands dirty. 10:15 Anyone who got their hands dirty before? 10:17 Right, you're working hard to get into here. 10:18 God got down to the dirt and He began to form, right? 10:22 He began to form and there He is. 10:24 And He made Adam with a big old smile. 10:27 And he came over and he said, Wow, I wanna make Adam strong. 10:31 So I'm gonna give him big biceps. 10:33 Who here wants to flex their biceps? 10:35 Let's go. 10:38 God created Adam, as a beautiful, 10:41 strong human and He's sculpting him, 10:43 He's sculpting him. 10:44 But was Adam alive yet? No. 10:47 No, He was just, He was playing with the dirt. 10:49 He was sculpting like a beautiful crater 10:51 and then how did Adam become alive? 10:58 God breathed. Now who knows? 10:59 I said it earlier but where did God breathed? 11:01 This is a crucial point, where did God breathe? 11:03 Okay, right here. Into his nose. 11:06 God breathed into his what? Nose. 11:09 Nose, He breathed into Adam's nose. 11:14 And Adam came alive. 11:16 And what was the very first thing 11:18 that that Father Adam, 11:19 that our great, great, great, great, great, great, 11:21 great grandfather saw the very first thing, 11:23 what did he see? 11:24 God. He saw God's face. 11:28 God created you and me 11:30 and every human in the world 11:32 to look and behold His beautiful face. 11:37 Isn't that an amazing thing? 11:38 God wants us every morning to wake up 11:41 and through the eyes of faith, 11:43 to look and to see His wonderful face. 11:45 Isn't that a beautiful thing? Amen. 11:48 But there's one more thing that we're missing with creation, 11:51 one more day. 11:54 Who knows what happened on the seventh day? 11:56 Wow. 11:57 Hands are shooting up all over the place. 11:58 God rested. God rested. 12:01 That's exactly right. Was God tired? 12:04 Was God tired? 12:05 I don't know, what do you boys and girls think? 12:07 Is God tired? No! 12:09 We got a little mixer, yes, no. 12:11 I think no, God is omnipotent. 12:14 He's got all the power in the world. 12:16 God decided to rest as an example. 12:21 An example for us, and with the example, 12:24 then we can follow. 12:26 And so God created the seventh day 12:28 and He rested on it. 12:30 He blessed it, and He sanctified it. 12:34 That word seems really big. 12:36 It means He made it holy. 12:37 He set it apart to be different. 12:40 Right? 12:41 He set it apart to be a day 12:43 that we can enjoy close friendship, fellowship, 12:48 and worship our Creator. 12:50 Who here enjoys worshiping God on the Sabbath? 12:53 Amen. 12:54 That's my favorite day of the week. 12:57 It's a wonderful day that God invites us to be with Him. 13:00 I am so excited about 13:01 all the things we learned today. 13:03 We have just a little bit of time. 13:04 What can you tell us that can that we can just 13:07 remember as we're going out? 13:08 Yeah, at the end of Genesis 1:31, 13:12 it was our scripture song. 13:13 It says, God looked at everything that He made, 13:16 and indeed it was, who remembers? 13:18 Good! It was good. 13:20 But more than that, it was very good. 13:24 Can you say that louder? God created it. 13:27 How did He create it? Very good. 13:30 That's right. 13:31 God loves you and He wants you to be with Him 13:33 and enjoy His creation. 13:36 So next time, on Bible Gems, I can't wait to see you. 13:39 God bless. |
