God filled the oceans with all sorts of creatures on the fifth day. He also created birds on this day. Not only did He create these creatures, He made them with the ability to reproduce.
Bible verses used in this episode:
Outline:
- The creation story is found in Genesis chapters 1 and 2
- God created creatures if the sea and birds. (Genesis 1:20-23)
Tips for teaching children:
- Make a craft with feathers or shells.
- Young children can learn to draw a simple fish shape
- Decorate boiled eggs
Tips for teaching adults:
- For a fun exercise, ask the class to google the question, “What are names of the birds mentioned in the Bible?” I think everyone will be surprised at the various bird species named in the Bible.
- Guide the class into reading the following texts: Luke 12:6-7; Matthew 6:26-28; Deuteronomy 22:6-7. Each of these texts teaches us something about the life of the follower of God. Lead the class in a discussion by asking the class, “What can we learn from the birds about our life as God’s people from these texts?” and “How are birds used to teach us about our life with God?”
