In the Beginning part 5

Well, we made it to our final week of our series on creation and today we talked about the sixth day of creation! On the sixth day God said:

“'Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind.' And it was so. So he made them and God saw that it was good."

"Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground…' God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning—the sixth day!"

The Bible says that we were made in God’s image, which means that he wants us to be like him!

In the bible God used a man named Saul to do some awesome things! Saul started off as a mean guy who travelled around just to find Christians so that he could kill them or put them in jail.

One time, Saul had an encounter with Jesus while he was on his way to put some Christians in jail. After he had this encounter his life was never the same. He started to tell people about Jesus and everyone that heard him speak were amazed!

You see, When Saul’s life was changed, he changed others around him. God created us in his image and he wants us to be more like him. When we strive to be more like Him He can use us to change the lives of others around you and me!

Memory Verse: "You are the light of the world." Matthew 5:14
