Creation (Days 2 and 3)

And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water." So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. God called the expanse "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning - the second day.

Genesis 1:6-8

  • Who remembers what God created on the first day?
  • Who remembers what God did before that?
  • What did God create on the second day?
  • What did the sky separate?
  • Can you think of a story in the Bible where a lot of water comes from above?
And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so. God called the dry ground "land," and the gathered waters he called "seas." And God saw that it was good. Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so. The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.

Genesis 1:9-13

  • What did God create on the third day?
  • How did God create this?
  • What did God think of all that He created so far?
  • When you see the sky or the sea or land with trees and plants on it, do you remember that God created it?
  • If God thought it was good, what should you think about it?
