This lesson focuses on God's omnipotence, teaching learners that God is the ultimate Creator of everything seen and unseen. The emphasis is on His creative power, as everything came into existence by His word.

God did not create everything the same. The stars are different from the sun, birds are different from fish, and each type of plant and animal has its own characteristics. This shows us that God values diversity. Everything works together to maintain balance in the world, and each part of creation plays an important role in God’s plan.

Find pictures of three different things in nature that show God's creativity and power.
Write a few sentences explaining why you chose each one.

Learners will explore the concept of being made in God’s image, understanding that humans are unique among creation because they reflect God’s character in their ability to think, love, create, and make moral choices.

Because humans are made in God’s image, we have a special role to play. God gave us the responsibility to take care of His creation, including animals, plants, and the environment. We are also called to show love and kindness to one another. When we make good choices, we reflect God's character to the world.

write down three things you can do this week to take care of the world or show love to others. You should be ready to share one of your actions in the next class.
