Overall Goal

Here is a test: What is the most important thing that we do in Sunday School?

Teach the kids Bible stories?
Babysit the kids?
Not lose any of the kids?
Love the kids?

Well, if you answered #3, it is true that we work hard not to lose any of the kids! ;-) However, many times we feel that our job in Sunday School is #1, to teach the kids about God, Jesus and the Bible. And this is certainly important. But at PBCC we have a slightly different overarching goal, and that is #4, to love the kids.

So even if the morning seems like total chaos and there is paint all over the carpet and the kids squirmed all during the lesson and didn’t learn anything, if we can spend a few moments with one child and really focus on them and listen to what they have to say or play a game with them or just get down on the carpet and hold them in our lap, then the morning will be successful.

So when we come into class in the morning, we really just need to think about one thing: how can we let God’s love shine through us onto the kids? God will take care of the rest.

Team Assignments

We structure this class a little differently and instead of one person running the whole morning, we divide it into different activities and let different people lead these activities depending on what they enjoy doing. They will typically lead the same activity for at least a month, and sometimes the whole quarter. This provides continuity and it is often easier to plan for a block of time rather than sporadically. It also allows us to use our strengths best.

Here is a list of some of the activities:

Lessons
Craft
Songs
Bible verse
Games
Skits

So the first step in the team assignments is to ask each teacher what they like to do, and what they would prefer not to do.

God Made Animals and Man

Intro

Last week we learned how the lights came into the sky, how long it took to create the universe, and how many dimensions God exists in.
This week, we are going to learn about how what science knows about how life was created fits in with what the Bible says

Lesson – Evolution

Verse

God spoke: “Swarm, Ocean, with fish and all sea life! Birds, fly through the sky over Earth!”

God created the huge whales, all the swarm of life in the waters. And every kind and species of flying birds.

God saw that it was good.

God blessed them: “Prosper! Reproduce! Fill Ocean! Birds, reproduce on Earth!”

It was evening, it was morning – Day Five.

God spoke: “Earth, generate life! Every sort and kind: cattle and reptiles and wild animals – all kinds.”

And there it was: wild animals of every kind, cattle of all kinds, every sort of reptile and bug.

God saw that it was good.

God spoke: “Let us make human beings in our image, make them reflecting our nature so they can be responsible for the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the cattle, and, yes, Earth itself, and every animal that moves on the face of Earth.”

God created human beings: he created them godlike, reflecting God’s nature. He created them male and female.

God blessed them: “Prosper! Reproduce! Fill Earth! Take charge! Be responsible for fish in the sea and birds in the air, for every living things that moves on the face of Earth.”

Then God said, “I’ve given you every sort of seed-bearing plant on Earth and every kind of fruit-bearing tree, given them to you for food. To all animals and all birds, everything that moves and breathes, I give whatever grows out of the ground for food.”

And there it was.

God looked over everything he had made: It was so good, so very good!

It was evening, it was morning – Day Six.

DNA

Science has learned a lot about life.
It has shown that the “instruction book” for life is is written in DNA
DNA uses 4 amino acids.
The human genome (instruction book) consists of 23 chromosomes, 25,000 genes and about 3 billion DNA base pairs
Even a simple bacteria has about 1 million base pairs

(Show picture of DNA)

Lego Entropy

Let’s pretend that DNA base pairs are like Legos
Has anyone put together a Lego car?

(Hold up Lego car)

Do you put it together carefully?
What happens if you throw it down?

(Throw it up, and let it fall an break into pieces)

Hmm, it breaks into pieces.
Well what if we threw down a lot of pieces and see what they built.
Who wants to try?

(Let kids throw Legos into a bucket, each time hold it up and show that nothing was built)

Hmm, this doesn’t seem to be working too well.
Maybe we just need to try longer.

(Let them try a few more times)

Why doesn’t this work?
Science says this is called “Entropy” which means that things always get messier rather than neater.
Doesn’t that make sense?

Lego Instructions

So how do we make something out of Legos?
We use an instruction manual

(Show lego instruction manual)

This one is pretty hard, it has 24 instructions.
Has anyone ever built a Lego car this hard?
Well what if instead of 24 instructions, it had 1 million instructions, like a bacteria has – would that be hard?
One million instructions would mean this book would be about 30 feet tall!
Well what if it has 3 billion instructions, like a human does? Would that be totally impossible?

Science Limitations

Well if you use only science to explain life, then life had to come about because all the DNA pairs just happened to get assembled in exactly the right order
But even science has a hard time explaining this. Even over billions of years with exactly the right conditions, there wouldn’t be enough time

(Show picture of spark in glass ball)

Scientists have been trying to create life for a long time using things similar to this.
This ball contains just the right gases scientists think are necessary to create life, and then the put a spark in it to try to get them to combine
But no protocells have been made.

(Read Wired excerpt)

Cambrian Explosions

Another thing science can’t explain is that during a period about 540 million years ago, there was an explosion of animal life.
This was called the “Cambrian” period
Not “explosion” like a firecracker, but explosion like a lot of new animals were first seen.

(Read from book about Cambrian puzzle)

Before that, there were mainly just plants on the Earth.
Science has a hard time explaining this, but the Bible doesn’t.
Remember in Day 3, God created plants?
And then in Day 5 God created animals?

Summary

We have seen how the Bible doesn’t include all of the details about the creation of the Universe and how life came about on the Earth.
We have also learned that science knows a lot of stuff, but doesn’t have all the answers either
But when you combine what is in the Bible with what science knows, it explains a lot.

Lesson – Messenger

What if you had a friend really far away, how would you contact them?
Maybe write a letter, or send an email or a picture
What if you thought there was someone living on another planet? How would you contact them?
What if there were other people outside our own solar system – how would they contact us?
Let’s see one idea about this

(Show clip from “2001” starting at 12 minutes)

This writer thought that maybe someone would contact us by sending this large, black slab that made noise.
What did God send to us?

(Hold up picture of Jesus)

God sent his only Son.
Does that show that He loves us?

Summary

We have seen how big, and old, and powerful God is and how we created this huge, gigantic Universe.
So isn’t it easy to wonder sometimes if he really cares about small, little us in this tiny part of His Universe?
But we know He cares because He sent his only Son to us.
Let’s pray
