God Made Everything

Psalm 8; Psalm 19


Our true Bible story comes from a part, of the Bible called Psalms. The word psalm means holy song or special song.

David looked up at the sky.

He saw the moon and the stars shining.

David said, “God, You made all of this!”

David looked at the world around him—the animals, the trees, and the people.

He knew that God made everything.

David was amazed. He said, “God is so great!”

But David also knew something special.

Even though God made the whole world, God cares about people too.

God cares about you.

God also gives us His Word to teach us what is good and right.

Jesus helps us see this clearly.

Jesus shows us how much God loves us and helps us understand God’s ways.

Key Takeaway for Preschoolers

God made everything, and God loves us.


Dear God,

Thank You for making the world and everything in it. Thank You for loving us and caring for us. Help us to see Your goodness all around us. We love you, God.

In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.





Bible Verse: “A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you also must love one another.” — John 13:34, BSB

Paraphrase: Jesus says, “Love each other the way I love you.”

The Early Christians Shared Everything

Acts 4:32-37 Our story comes from a book of the Bible called Acts. That name is short for “the Acts of the Apostles.” The word "Apostle" is another word to describe a helper of Jesus. Our Bible story tells us about some people who loved Jesus. The people were gathered together in a room. Buzz, buzz, buzz. The room filled with talking and laughter. The people called themselves Christians because they did what Jesus Christ said to do (Christian means "follower of Christ"). The Christians knew that Jesus was God’s Son. They wanted others to know about Jesus, too. Grandmas, grandpas, moms, dads, and children met together in homes. They would pray, sing, and learn about Jesus together. All these people loved Jesus. They were like one big, happy family. Because they loved Jesus, the Christians happily shared what they had more than others. Everything a person had was happily shared with the rest of the Bible-time Christians. They shared food so every...

Genesis 21:1-6 Take-Home Our story comes from the book, or part, of the Bible called Genesis. Genesis means "the beginning." The Bible tells us that Abraham and His wife, Sarah, lived a long time ago. They were a family. One, two. It was a small family. There were two grown-ups but no children.

Finally, they had a baby! Abraham and Sarah were happy! Even after they were very old, God gave them a baby boy. Isn’t that happy news! Sometimes when we are happy, we laugh! Abraham and Sarah named the baby Isaac. Baby Isaac’s name means “he laughs.” Abraham and Sarah were happy...

Jacob and Esau

Genesis 27:41a; 32:9-21; 33:3-11 Our story comes from the book, or part, of the Bible called Genesis. Genesis means "the beginning." The Bible tells us about two brothers, Jacob and Esau. Jacob and Esau were twin brothers. They were the sons of Isaac and the grandsons of Abraham. Jacob and Esau were born at the same time and were the same age. But Esau was a couple of minutes older than Jacob. Because Esau was the oldest son, he would someday receive a special blessing from their father. That was very important. One day, Jacob tricked his father Isaac into giving Jacob the important blessing instead of Esau. Esau was very mad. Esau was so angry that Jacob became afraid. Jacob decided to move away from Esau. So he packed up his things and traveled to another land. Even though God didn’t like what Jacob had done to Esau, God still blessed Jacob. God gave Jacob a large family and many animals. After many years, God told Jacob it was time to g...
