Creation (Day 1)

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

Genesis 1:1-5

• What existed before the heavens and earth?
• What did create first?
• How did God create light?
• What did God think of what He created?
• What did God do before He created the heavens and the earth?

For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will—

Ephesians 1:4-5

• Before He created the world, God chose us to be His children. How do you like that?
• God wants us to be holy and blameless in His sight. Do you think we should do good things or bad things?
• How many times when you are told to do something, do you say "First let me..."? Is this because what you want to do is important to you?
• So, before God said "Let there be light," He said "first let me choose the Brocks to be my children and to be holy and blameless..." Do you think we are important to God?
• Do you think it is important for us to live lives that are pleasing to God?
