His wisdom, power, glory, and love.

• GOD created

Colossians 1:15,16

• GOD created the heavens and the earth.

Day 1 – Light 1:3-5

Day 2 – Space & Water 1:6-8

Day 3 – Plant life 1:9-13

Day 4 – Sun, Moon, Stars 1:14-19

Day 5 – Fish & Birds 1:20-23

Day 6 – Land Animals 1:24-25

Next Steps:
• God’s work of creation screams forth His glory and power. Psalm 19:1-5 / Romans 1:18-20

• Mankind is distinct from all the rest of creation.

• Both Adam and Eve were created in God’s image, equal before God as persons and distinct in their manhood and womanhood. *
