All Things Bright and Beautiful
Lesson 1, Monday, August 8, 2005
The Heavens Teach God's Design
Lesson Aim: Explores the wonders and purpose of God's design. Man could not have sent a space ship to Mars without following the precise designs and flight plans of the engineers. And Joshua could not have led the Israelites to victory over Jericho without following God's plan to the last detail.
Lesson Texts: Genesis 1:6-8, 14-18; Joshua 6:1-16, 20
Bible Story: Joshua and the fall of Jericho
Lesson 2, Tuesday, August 9, 2005
The Earth Teaches Stewardship
Lesson Aim: Explores our mission as His stewards. God loves us, and He placed us on His Earth as caretakers. We are stewards of God's creation, especially when we share the good news about His Son, Jesus Christ, who is our steward. In times past, God prepared Joseph to be a great steward of Egypt and the world. Joseph's stewardship of Egypt is a great example to us today.
Lesson Texts: Genesis 1:9-12; 41:38-57
Bible Story: Joseph's stewardship of Egypt
Lesson 3, Wednesday, August 10, 2005
The Ocean Teaches Obedience
Lesson Aim: Explores our duty to obey Him. Even the mighty oceans are obedient to God. And though God gives us the freedom to choose to obey or to disobey His commands, He expects us to obey Him. That is what Jonah learned when he tried to resist God's will. If we are obedient and do God's will, He provides a place for us in heaven.
Lesson Text: Genesis 1:9-10; 21-22; Jonah 1:1-4:11
Bible Story: Jonah's disobedience/obedience to God
Lesson 4, Thursday, August 11, 2005
The Animals Teach Providence
Lesson Aim: Explores God's providence to us and to the animals. God created animals to help us, to feed us, and to be our friends. God loves animals, too. He even instructed Noah to build an ark large enough to save them from the flood. Yet, though God has always provided for animals, His providence to us is far greater through His Son, Jesus Christ.
Lesson Text: Genesis 1:24-25; Genesis 6:19-7:2; 8:1; 9:9-11
Bible Story: God's care for the animals and more so for us
