Off to a good start

We kickoff our study of Genesis with a lesson titled “Affirm God’s Good Plan,” based on chapters 1 and 2. What is a “good plan”? How do you evaluate a plan?

Here is an illustrative “good plan” to help you get “off to a good start” on your lesson preparation this week! If you find a good lesson plan idea, consider posting it as a comment on this blog so that other teachers may benefit from it!

As I read thru the lesson material, it occurred to me that members might question their place in God’s plan. They can’t show appreciation in this matter unless they accept God’s creative plan and put their trust in Him. It is exciting to be part of God’s plan!

You are right. I think this lesson will be good because we are created in HIS image--the Trinity. He really took special attention to create us.

Hi Sheryl,

I agree with you. Also, some members may feel "unworthy" to accept a positive view of themselves in God's plan, which motivated my closing remarks.

On another point, did you understand the LifeWay writer's comment on p.17 of the Adult Leader Guide?
"Placing a strain on God's creation to support a huge population does not constitute caring for the earth."

What is he suggesting?
