Hi, Campers,
welcome to Bible Gems.
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
Today, we're
going to learn about...
00:00:02.73\00:00:05.70
Hey, who turned off the lights?
00:00:05.73\00:00:08.54
Hi, Campers, get ready for
00:00:08.57\00:00:10.51
Uncle Aron to tell us
the story of creation.
00:00:10.54\00:00:14.18
Okay, Jewlee,
00:00:14.21\00:00:15.54
why did you turn off the lights?
00:00:15.58\00:00:16.91
Because in the
beginning it was dark.
00:00:16.95\00:00:20.02
Dark, then God made light.
00:00:20.05\00:00:23.92
Hey, that's pretty good.
00:00:23.95\00:00:26.62
Whoa!
00:00:26.65\00:00:29.96
Hello, Tiara, I'm the bird. Hey!
00:00:29.99\00:00:33.06
Just like what
God made on day five.
00:00:33.09\00:00:35.80
Whoa!
00:00:35.83\00:00:39.50
It's not all He made.
00:00:39.53\00:00:40.90
Stay tuned to learn more
about the days of creation.
00:00:40.94\00:00:44.21
There's a day seven yet.
00:00:44.24\00:00:45.97
I can really use some rest.
00:00:46.01\00:00:49.94
Jewlee.
00:00:49.98\00:00:51.61
Bible Gems is up next
00:00:51.65\00:00:53.18
Welcome to Bible
Gems, you found it.
00:01:15.84\00:01:20.34
Well, we are going to
have fun today on our set.
00:01:20.38\00:01:23.91
So let's get started.
00:01:23.95\00:01:25.28
We're gonna start out
with our memory verses,
00:01:25.31\00:01:28.65
and we're gonna
learn it in a fun way.
00:01:28.68\00:01:30.85
Come on, let's try. All right.
00:01:30.89\00:01:33.15
Okay. Let's try it.
00:01:33.19\00:01:35.49
In the beginning
00:01:35.52\00:01:38.06
In the beginning
00:01:38.09\00:01:40.03
God created the heavens
00:01:40.06\00:01:42.73
And the earth
00:01:42.76\00:01:45.93
In the beginning
00:01:45.97\00:01:48.77
In the beginning
00:01:48.80\00:01:50.67
God created the heavens
00:01:50.71\00:01:53.48
And the earth
00:01:53.51\00:01:56.58
Genesis 1:1 and 31
00:01:56.61\00:02:00.75
Our story today,
00:02:03.99\00:02:05.32
we're going way
back to the beginning.
00:02:05.35\00:02:08.66
So let's see.
Let's put that down.
00:02:08.69\00:02:10.19
Let's see if what
we can find in there.
00:02:10.23\00:02:12.69
Oh, I'm
excited. Are you excited?
00:02:12.73\00:02:14.06
Yes.
00:02:14.10\00:02:15.43
Hey, Ben, you
want to open it up?
00:02:15.46\00:02:16.80
Open it.
00:02:16.83\00:02:18.17
Wow! That's amazing.
00:02:18.20\00:02:20.90
We got all sorts of
shining pearls and gems.
00:02:20.94\00:02:24.24
These are great. Look at this.
00:02:24.27\00:02:26.88
But what's this in the
middle, boys and girls?
00:02:26.91\00:02:30.51
It's a scroll.
00:02:30.55\00:02:31.91
And these are the
ancient scriptures.
00:02:31.95\00:02:35.58
These tell us all the things
00:02:35.62\00:02:37.85
that we need to know
about God and salvation,
00:02:37.89\00:02:41.79
and this tells us
00:02:41.82\00:02:43.16
where we all actually came from.
00:02:43.19\00:02:45.93
Now, boys and girls,
before we open this up,
00:02:45.96\00:02:48.90
I want to ask you a question.
00:02:48.93\00:02:50.80
Where did you come from?
00:02:50.83\00:02:53.57
Angel, where did you come from?
00:02:53.60\00:02:55.90
Do you think you
came from a leopard?
00:02:55.94\00:03:00.31
Anyone here
related to a cheetah?
00:03:00.34\00:03:02.74
How would a monkey? Do
you look like a monkey?
00:03:02.78\00:03:04.65
No.
00:03:04.68\00:03:07.82
Where did you
come from, Scarlet?
00:03:07.85\00:03:09.32
I came from God.
00:03:09.35\00:03:10.72
You came from God.
00:03:10.75\00:03:12.09
Yes, that is good.
00:03:12.12\00:03:13.86
But more directly, you came from
00:03:13.89\00:03:15.22
your mommy and daddy,
00:03:15.26\00:03:17.53
would you agree with that?
00:03:17.56\00:03:19.13
And where did your
mommy and daddy come from?
00:03:19.16\00:03:22.70
Their mommy and daddy.
00:03:22.73\00:03:24.67
And where did they come from?
00:03:24.70\00:03:26.40
Their mommy and daddy,
00:03:26.43\00:03:27.77
and it goes
back, and it goes back,
00:03:27.80\00:03:29.14
and it goes
back, and it goes back
00:03:29.17\00:03:30.51
and back until we come to who?
00:03:30.54\00:03:32.61
Adam and Eve.
That's right, Hannah.
00:03:32.64\00:03:35.51
And now, where did
Adam and Eve come from?
00:03:35.54\00:03:38.18
God. God, that's exactly right.
00:03:38.21\00:03:41.78
Here in the ancient scriptures,
we have the Book of Genesis,
00:03:41.82\00:03:45.72
the book of what?
00:03:45.75\00:03:47.09
Genesis. Genesis.
00:03:47.12\00:03:48.62
And in the English we say,
00:03:48.66\00:03:50.69
in the beginning God created
00:03:50.73\00:03:53.53
but because I am Hebrew,
00:03:53.56\00:03:57.50
and my name is Uncle Aron,
00:03:57.53\00:03:59.17
Aharon, I'm going to
say the Hebrew for you,
00:03:59.20\00:04:02.57
and we're going to see
if we can learn it together.
00:04:02.60\00:04:04.61
It says, "Bereshit Bara Elohim."
00:04:04.64\00:04:08.94
That means, in the
beginning God created.
00:04:08.98\00:04:12.28
Can you say that
together with me?
00:04:12.31\00:04:13.88
Bereshit Bara
Elohim That's good.
00:04:13.92\00:04:18.99
That's really good.
Bereshit Bara Elohim.
00:04:19.02\00:04:22.59
In the beginning, God created.
00:04:22.62\00:04:25.76
Now, who can tell me
00:04:25.79\00:04:28.43
what God created
on the first day?
00:04:28.46\00:04:30.87
It says, "In the beginning,
00:04:30.90\00:04:32.23
God created the
heavens and the earth.
00:04:32.27\00:04:34.80
And the earth was
without form and void,
00:04:34.84\00:04:37.81
and darkness covered
the face of the deep."
00:04:37.84\00:04:39.91
But there was the Holy Spirit
00:04:39.94\00:04:41.98
that was doing
what over the waters?
00:04:42.01\00:04:44.08
He was hovering.
00:04:44.11\00:04:45.45
He was hovering over the waters.
00:04:45.48\00:04:47.32
And then God said,
"Let there be light."
00:04:47.35\00:04:51.85
And there was what? Light.
00:04:51.89\00:04:53.76
And there was
light. Isn't that amazing?
00:04:53.79\00:04:56.56
Wow. Light.
00:04:56.59\00:04:57.93
Yeah. That's incredible.
00:04:57.96\00:04:59.29
What a great God we have.
00:04:59.33\00:05:01.80
Who can tell me what
God created on day two?
00:05:01.83\00:05:05.63
Okay, reps be ready to run.
00:05:05.67\00:05:07.47
Okay, Scarlet?
00:05:07.50\00:05:09.80
And I think they
created the water in the land.
00:05:09.84\00:05:14.31
Yes.
00:05:14.34\00:05:16.38
God separated the waters
00:05:16.41\00:05:19.18
from the waters
and there's this.
00:05:19.21\00:05:20.92
It's sometimes it's
a confusing word that
00:05:20.95\00:05:22.92
we don't use too often,
but it's called the firmament.
00:05:22.95\00:05:26.59
That's a fancy word for the sky.
00:05:26.62\00:05:29.06
It's also called the atmosphere.
00:05:29.09\00:05:31.16
Right? So God is
doing amazing things.
00:05:31.19\00:05:33.90
Firstly, let there be
light so that everyone can see.
00:05:33.93\00:05:36.36
Right?
00:05:36.40\00:05:37.73
The angels above what
God was doing here on earth.
00:05:37.77\00:05:40.47
That's awesome. The sky.
00:05:40.50\00:05:43.00
What do we use the sky for?
00:05:43.04\00:05:45.27
Have you guys ever flown a kite?
00:05:45.31\00:05:46.81
Yeah. Right?
00:05:46.84\00:05:48.18
You take it off in the sky
00:05:48.21\00:05:49.54
and then it highlights
the beauty of God there.
00:05:49.58\00:05:52.08
That's beautiful.
00:05:52.11\00:05:53.45
Now, what did God create
on day three of creation?
00:05:53.48\00:05:57.65
Anyone here? Yeah.
00:05:57.69\00:05:59.65
Plants. Plants.
00:05:59.69\00:06:01.89
That's right.
00:06:01.92\00:06:03.39
But before God
could create plants,
00:06:03.43\00:06:05.39
what did He have to do,
00:06:05.43\00:06:06.76
because right at this
point, there's only water.
00:06:06.80\00:06:09.90
What do plants grow on?
00:06:09.93\00:06:11.53
Land. Land, earth.
00:06:11.57\00:06:13.50
That's exactly right.
00:06:13.54\00:06:14.87
And so God
called forth dry land.
00:06:14.90\00:06:19.24
And He made room
for there to be land
00:06:19.27\00:06:21.94
and then He
brought forth vegetation
00:06:21.98\00:06:24.75
and grass and trees.
00:06:24.78\00:06:26.21
You're exactly right.
00:06:26.25\00:06:28.08
So these first three days
00:06:28.12\00:06:29.78
of creation are
a wonderful days.
00:06:29.82\00:06:33.46
Now who can tell me
00:06:33.49\00:06:35.09
what happened on the
fourth day of creation?
00:06:35.12\00:06:39.59
Day four, Ben?
00:06:39.63\00:06:42.86
The stars and
planets. That's right.
00:06:42.90\00:06:45.70
It says that He
created the sun to rule
00:06:45.73\00:06:49.10
what, the day or the night?
00:06:49.14\00:06:51.04
The day.
00:06:51.07\00:06:52.41
The sun to rule the day,
and the moon to rule the what?
00:06:52.44\00:06:55.18
Night. The night.
00:06:55.21\00:06:56.95
And He also created the stars.
00:06:56.98\00:06:58.51
You guys like the stars?
00:06:58.55\00:07:00.18
Oh, I love to go out
and look at the stars.
00:07:00.22\00:07:02.85
Yeah. It makes me
feel closer to God.
00:07:02.88\00:07:05.05
Oh, yeah,
that's amazing. Me too.
00:07:05.09\00:07:07.12
Okay, now we're going to
go to day five of creation.
00:07:07.16\00:07:10.56
Who can tell me now?
00:07:10.59\00:07:11.93
Yes, back to you.
You said it before.
00:07:11.96\00:07:13.70
The fish and the birds.
00:07:13.73\00:07:15.06
That's exactly right.
00:07:15.10\00:07:16.70
The fish, the sea
creatures, the birds.
00:07:16.73\00:07:18.83
That's good.
00:07:18.87\00:07:20.20
All right, let's go on
00:07:20.24\00:07:21.57
to the next day of creation day.
00:07:21.60\00:07:23.07
What day are we on, kids?
00:07:23.10\00:07:24.87
Sixth day, sixth in creation.
00:07:24.91\00:07:26.68
What did God create on day six?
00:07:26.71\00:07:29.01
Okay, let's go right here.
00:07:29.04\00:07:30.71
Adam and Eve.
00:07:30.75\00:07:33.21
He created the animals.
00:07:33.25\00:07:35.08
This is my favorite part.
00:07:35.12\00:07:36.45
Oh, this is your
favorite part. Wow.
00:07:36.48\00:07:38.89
And God created the
humans on day six as well as
00:07:38.92\00:07:41.89
the land animals and
something amazing happen
00:07:41.92\00:07:45.86
in Genesis 1 there.
00:07:45.89\00:07:48.00
God said, "Let us
make man in His own image."
00:07:48.03\00:07:52.90
Does that mean we look like God?
00:07:52.93\00:07:54.37
In a way.
00:07:54.40\00:07:56.34
Ultimately, we don't know
exactly what God looks like.
00:07:56.37\00:07:59.37
But we can look like
God in our character,
00:07:59.41\00:08:02.84
we can be loving, kind, right?
00:08:02.88\00:08:06.15
It's such a wonderful
time. I want to look like Him.
00:08:06.18\00:08:08.28
Who here wants to look like God?
00:08:08.32\00:08:10.22
That's right. We
were made in His image.
00:08:10.25\00:08:12.19
And God wants
us to act like Him,
00:08:12.22\00:08:14.26
to be like Him
and to love like Him.
00:08:14.29\00:08:16.52
Now, this is my
favorite part of the story too.
00:08:16.56\00:08:18.56
Thanks for
bringing that out, Olivia.
00:08:18.59\00:08:20.13
Because now when
we get to Genesis 2,
00:08:20.16\00:08:23.06
what happens there is that well,
00:08:23.10\00:08:24.90
let me take a close
look, just to remind myself.
00:08:24.93\00:08:27.50
Whoa, look at the scroll.
00:08:27.54\00:08:29.34
You see the ancient Hebrew.
00:08:29.37\00:08:31.64
Okay, now, we're
coming to Genesis 2:7.
00:08:31.67\00:08:36.14
This is one of
my favorite verses
00:08:36.18\00:08:37.51
in the whole Bible.
00:08:37.55\00:08:38.88
Does anyone here
happen to know Genesis 2:7?
00:08:38.91\00:08:43.92
It says, "That God formed man
00:08:43.95\00:08:47.59
out of" what?
00:08:47.62\00:08:50.36
"The dust of the ground
00:08:50.39\00:08:51.96
and He breathed
into his nostrils" what?
00:08:51.99\00:08:55.13
"The breath of life and man
00:08:55.16\00:08:57.33
became a living
being or a living soul."
00:08:57.37\00:09:01.30
Now, this is my
absolute favorite part
00:09:01.34\00:09:02.80
because check this out.
00:09:02.84\00:09:04.17
When God first
created the light,
00:09:04.21\00:09:07.98
or He created
the sun and the moon,
00:09:08.01\00:09:09.91
or the giraffe,
how did He create it?
00:09:09.94\00:09:14.05
He said, Let there be what?
00:09:14.08\00:09:16.45
Let's be animals
and there was animals.
00:09:16.48\00:09:19.35
He said, Let there be
dry land and what was there?
00:09:19.39\00:09:23.69
Dry land. Right?
00:09:23.73\00:09:25.33
God is using His
words, His speech,
00:09:25.36\00:09:28.40
He's speaking things
straight into existence.
00:09:28.43\00:09:31.73
Anyone here ever
tried to create something
00:09:31.77\00:09:34.37
into existence
out of speaking it?
00:09:34.40\00:09:36.20
No. Because that that's silly.
00:09:36.24\00:09:40.38
It wouldn't work but God
has the powers of creation.
00:09:40.41\00:09:44.08
And God can say,
let there be a new heart
00:09:44.11\00:09:47.55
and He can give us a new heart.
00:09:47.58\00:09:49.42
God can say, let
there be a giraffe
00:09:49.45\00:09:51.05
and there's a giraffe.
00:09:51.09\00:09:52.42
But all of these
things when you speak,
00:09:52.45\00:09:54.92
this involves a distance, right?
00:09:54.96\00:09:57.09
Let there be
and then over there,
00:09:57.13\00:09:59.09
there's a creation.
00:09:59.13\00:10:00.76
But when God came to make beings
00:10:00.80\00:10:03.33
in His own image,
00:10:03.37\00:10:04.73
He decided to get down on
His knees if God has knees.
00:10:04.77\00:10:09.87
That's I would say
is my favorite part.
00:10:09.90\00:10:11.57
Yeah, He got down and
He got His hands dirty.
00:10:11.61\00:10:15.14
Anyone who got
their hands dirty before?
00:10:15.18\00:10:17.21
Right, you're working
hard to get into here.
00:10:17.25\00:10:18.88
God got down to the dirt
and He began to form, right?
00:10:18.91\00:10:22.55
He began to
form and there He is.
00:10:22.58\00:10:24.35
And He made Adam
with a big old smile.
00:10:24.39\00:10:27.82
And he came over and he said,
Wow, I wanna make Adam strong.
00:10:27.86\00:10:31.29
So I'm gonna
give him big biceps.
00:10:31.33\00:10:32.99
Who here wants to
flex their biceps?
00:10:33.03\00:10:34.96
Let's go.
00:10:35.00\00:10:38.33
God created
Adam, as a beautiful,
00:10:38.37\00:10:41.20
strong human and
He's sculpting him,
00:10:41.24\00:10:43.54
He's sculpting him.
00:10:43.57\00:10:44.91
But was Adam alive yet? No.
00:10:44.94\00:10:47.28
No, He was just, He
was playing with the dirt.
00:10:47.31\00:10:49.48
He was sculpting
like a beautiful crater
00:10:49.51\00:10:51.65
and then how did
Adam become alive?
00:10:51.68\00:10:55.08
God breathed. Now who knows?
00:10:58.12\00:10:59.59
I said it earlier but
where did God breathed?
00:10:59.62\00:11:01.42
This is a crucial
point, where did God breathe?
00:11:01.46\00:11:03.49
Okay, right here. Into his nose.
00:11:03.53\00:11:06.43
God breathed
into his what? Nose.
00:11:06.46\00:11:09.60
Nose, He
breathed into Adam's nose.
00:11:09.63\00:11:14.17
And Adam came alive.
00:11:14.20\00:11:16.20
And what was
the very first thing
00:11:16.24\00:11:18.04
that that Father Adam,
00:11:18.07\00:11:19.81
that our great, great,
great, great, great, great,
00:11:19.84\00:11:21.54
great grandfather
saw the very first thing,
00:11:21.58\00:11:23.24
what did he see?
00:11:23.28\00:11:24.61
God. He saw God's face.
00:11:24.65\00:11:28.12
God created you and me
00:11:28.15\00:11:30.62
and every human in the world
00:11:30.65\00:11:32.85
to look and behold
His beautiful face.
00:11:32.89\00:11:37.36
Isn't that an amazing thing?
00:11:37.39\00:11:38.89
God wants us
every morning to wake up
00:11:38.93\00:11:41.30
and through the eyes of faith,
00:11:41.33\00:11:43.37
to look and to see
His wonderful face.
00:11:43.40\00:11:45.90
Isn't that a
beautiful thing? Amen.
00:11:45.93\00:11:48.90
But there's one more thing that
we're missing with creation,
00:11:48.94\00:11:51.87
one more day.
00:11:51.91\00:11:54.28
Who knows what
happened on the seventh day?
00:11:54.31\00:11:56.11
Wow.
00:11:56.14\00:11:57.48
Hands are shooting
up all over the place.
00:11:57.51\00:11:58.85
God rested. God rested.
00:11:58.88\00:12:01.58
That's exactly
right. Was God tired?
00:12:01.62\00:12:04.09
Was God tired?
00:12:04.12\00:12:05.45
I don't know, what do
you boys and girls think?
00:12:05.49\00:12:07.19
Is God tired? No!
00:12:07.22\00:12:09.86
We got a little mixer, yes, no.
00:12:09.89\00:12:11.66
I think no, God is omnipotent.
00:12:11.69\00:12:14.53
He's got all the
power in the world.
00:12:14.56\00:12:16.60
God decided to
rest as an example.
00:12:16.63\00:12:21.27
An example for us,
and with the example,
00:12:21.30\00:12:24.51
then we can follow.
00:12:24.54\00:12:26.37
And so God
created the seventh day
00:12:26.41\00:12:28.78
and He rested on it.
00:12:28.81\00:12:30.91
He blessed it,
and He sanctified it.
00:12:30.95\00:12:34.75
That word seems really big.
00:12:34.78\00:12:36.25
It means He made it holy.
00:12:36.28\00:12:37.65
He set it apart to be different.
00:12:37.69\00:12:40.29
Right?
00:12:40.32\00:12:41.66
He set it apart to be a day
00:12:41.69\00:12:43.86
that we can enjoy
close friendship, fellowship,
00:12:43.89\00:12:48.30
and worship our Creator.
00:12:48.33\00:12:50.33
Who here enjoys
worshiping God on the Sabbath?
00:12:50.37\00:12:53.23
Amen.
00:12:53.27\00:12:54.60
That's my
favorite day of the week.
00:12:54.64\00:12:56.97
It's a wonderful day that
God invites us to be with Him.
00:12:57.01\00:13:00.38
I am so excited about
00:13:00.41\00:13:01.74
all the things we learned today.
00:13:01.78\00:13:03.11
We have just a
little bit of time.
00:13:03.14\00:13:04.85
What can you tell us
that can that we can just
00:13:04.88\00:13:07.15
remember as we're going out?
00:13:07.18\00:13:08.92
Yeah, at the
end of Genesis 1:31,
00:13:08.95\00:13:11.99
it was our scripture song.
00:13:12.02\00:13:13.59
It says, God looked at
everything that He made,
00:13:13.62\00:13:16.83
and indeed it
was, who remembers?
00:13:16.86\00:13:18.89
Good! It was good.
00:13:18.93\00:13:20.80
But more than
that, it was very good.
00:13:20.83\00:13:24.20
Can you say that
louder? God created it.
00:13:24.23\00:13:27.17
How did He create it? Very good.
00:13:27.20\00:13:30.21
That's right.
00:13:30.24\00:13:31.57
God loves you and He
wants you to be with Him
00:13:31.61\00:13:33.74
and enjoy His creation.
00:13:33.78\00:13:35.98
So next time, on Bible
Gems, I can't wait to see you.
00:13:36.01\00:13:39.58
God bless.
00:13:39.61\00:13:41.05
