Possible Viewpont: Baptist Christian

Title: The wonders of God’s creation: Exploring the ocean

Bible Verse: Psalm 95:5 “The sea is His; He made it, and His hands formed the dry land.”

Introduction:

Hello children, today we are going to explore the wonders of God’s creation. We are going to talk about the ocean and learn about its amazing characteristics that God created.

Lesson:

The Ocean is a vast body of saltwater that covers more than 70% of the earth’s surface. It is one of the most magnificent creations of God. God created the ocean on the third day of creation (Genesis 1:9-10) and filled it with all kinds of sea creatures, including small fish, big whales, starfish, sea turtles, and dolphins. All of these creatures were made by God and show His amazing creativity and attention to detail.

The ocean is not only home to sea creatures, but it also has many other functions. It helps regulate the earth’s temperature, produces oxygen, and provides food for millions of people.

When we visit the ocean, we can see how powerful it is. The waves can crash down on rocks and shorelines, making a loud noise that can be heard from far away. From the surface, it seems that the ocean is unending because it stretches as far as we can see. However, it is just a tiny fraction of the depths of the ocean.

The ocean depths are still not fully explored, and there are many mysteries yet to be discovered. Scientists have found underwater volcanoes, caves, and unique creatures that we cannot find on land. The ocean is truly a testament to God’s limitless power and creativity.

Conclusion:

God created the ocean as a reminder of His creation’s beauty and power. Next time you go to the beach or on a boat, stop and take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the ocean, and remember how amazing and powerful our God is. Remember, the sea is His; He made it, and His hands formed the dry land (Psalm 95:5). Let’s thank Him for the wonderful gift He’s given us!

Ocean Art Craft: Creating a Coral Reef

Supplies:
– Blue construction paper
– Scissors
– Glue
– Various colors of tissue paper
– Marker
– Pencil

Instructions:

1. Begin by drawing a basic layout of the coral reef on the construction paper. Plan out where you would like the different colors and shapes of coral to go.

2. Cut out the shapes of coral from tissue paper. You can make them any shape or size you like.

3. Glue the tissue paper coral shapes to the construction paper to create a 3D effect. Layer the coral on top of each other, and make some coral taller than others to create depth.
