God Created the Heavens and Earth:  Genesis 1
On the first day God created the heavens and earth.
The second thing God created was light - he saw it was good and
seperated it from the darkness.
God called the light what? - (DAY)
God called the darkness what? (NIGHT)
Then God made a vault  (air) that seperated the waters above and below.
God called the air (vault) what? (SKY)
That was the second day.
Then God let the water under the sky be gathered together and dry land appeared.  He call the dry land "earth".
He named the water that was gathered together "seas".
God saw this was good.
Then God let the earth produce plants.- every seed will produce more of its own kind of plant and it happened.
This was the third day.
Then God said- let there be lights in the sky to separate day from night.
these were signs, seasons, days and years.
the bright light ruled the day
the smaller light ruled the night
he made stars.... this was day four
(the sun, the moon and stars)
Then God created the all living things...birds of the air, animals of the sea --- this was the fifth day
Then God said - let the earth be filled with animals....
God saw that this was good
Then God said -- Let us make human beings in our image and likeness.

He wants you to become His child so you can enjoy everything that comes with being part of His family. Trust in Him today. (

BOOKS OF THE BIBLE

New Teaching Study Material for Old Testament


LESSON SNAPSHOT:  God wants us to know what 's in the Bible and where to find it.

There are 66 Books in the Bible.
Old Testament:  39 books
New Testament:  27 books

Think about it like this:  there are 3 letters in Old and there are 9 letters in Testament - join the 3 & 9 together and you get 39.
If you take and same 3 & 9 and make them 3 X 9 that equal 27. 
The number of books in the New Testament 27! 
Wasn't that Easy!

God says the Bible is like a sword.  Just like a sword takes practice to use, we need to practice using God's Word.  One of the ways we can do that is by knowing what God has included in the Bible and where we can find it.

Memory Verse: God has breathed life into all Scripture.  It is useful for teaching us what is true.  It is useful for correcting our mistakes.  It is useful for making our lives whole again.  It is useful for training us to do what is right.  2 Timothy 3:16 NIrV

***********************************************************************

Summary:  The first five books of the Bible tell us how the world began, what God expects of us (the law), and how God put a plan in action to set things right.  It is sometimes called the Pentateuch.
