Teacher Script:
Hello children! Today we’re going to talk about something special: God’s handiwork. Have you ever received a gift that someone made just for you, something that wasn’t bought from a store? (Wait for children’s responses) Those gifts are extra special, aren’t they? Today, we’re going to learn that everything around us is a special gift from God, made just for us!
(Show pictures or videos of mountains, flowers, and oceans)
Look at these beautiful mountains, these colorful flowers, and this vast ocean. The Bible tells us in Psalm 19:1 that “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim his handiwork.” This means that God created everything we see around us! He is an amazing artist, and everything he creates has a purpose.
God doesn’t just create things; he also cares about each and every one of us. Just like the people who make us special gifts care about us, God cares about us too. He created us with love, and he wants us to live our lives in a way that honors him.
So, how can we show our appreciation to God for his amazing creation and his love for us? We can praise him with our words and thank him through prayers. We can also live our lives in a way that honors him by following his teachings. And finally, we can appreciate the beauty around us and take care of the things he created.
Let’s end today by saying a prayer together thanking God for his wonderful creation and his love for us. (Say the prayer together)
Remember, children, everything around us is God’s handiwork. Let’s go outside and appreciate the beauty of his creation!
Here are some key points from the video that can be used to teach children about God’s handiwork:
- God created everything: The world around us, from the mountains to the flowers, was all created by God.
- God’s creations have a purpose: Everything that God made has a special purpose.
- God loves and cares about us: God created each of us, and he loves and cares about each one of us.
- We can glorify God with our lives: We can show our appreciation to God by living our lives according to his rules and praising him.
This lesson can be used to help children appreciate the beauty of God’s creation, and to understand how much he loves and cares about them.
