LESSON 5: Shaky to Sure
(Psalm 23:6, 1 Chronicles 22)
MEMORY VERSE: Psalm 23:1-3a
“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul.”
FAMILY DISCUSSION STARTERS:
What did you learn about sheep and their shepherd’s voice?
How do we learn to hear the Good Shepherd’s voice?
Does God’s promise that goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life mean that we will never experience difficulty or danger?
6th GRADE
LESSON 2: WHO AM I?
MEMORY VERSE: Genesis 1:26-28
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
This week, we looked at Genesis 1:26–28 again to learn what it means to be created in God’s image. As a family, read through Genesis 1:26–28 again.
What does Genesis 1:27 tell us about being created in God’s image? (Hint: Look at the last part of the verse.)
Look at Genesis 1:28. What jobs did God give humans?
God created you in His image and gave you the job of caring for other creatures. Animals are special creatures, but they are not made in God’s image. Only humans are created in God’s image and have the responsibility to care for other creatures. You are not an animal; you are made in God’s image!
You have probably heard people say that it doesn’t matter if you are a girl or a boy. They believe that each person is the same and shouldn’t care about whether he or she is a girl or a boy.
Think back to Genesis 1:26–28. According to these verses, did male and female happen by accident or did God plan this on purpose?
God created you as a boy or a girl on purpose! If you are a boy, you show the world God’s image in a way that only boys can! If you are a girl, you show the world God’s image in a way that only girls can! That doesn’t mean that you are the same as every other boy or every other girl. But it does mean that there is something very special about your gender!
Spend time thanking God for making you in His image. Thank Him for giving you the responsibility of caring for His creation and for making you male or female on purpose.
