Lesson: Unit 1 Session2
Scripture: Genesis 2-3

Preschool

Main Idea: Sin entered the world.

Summary
  • Adam and Eve lived in God's beautiful garden. God took good care of them.
  • God gave Adam and Eve one rule: "Do not eat from the tree of the middle of the garden. If you do, you will die." 
  • One day, a snake tricked Eve. He said, "You will not die. You will be like God." So Adam and Eve ate the fruit. They broke God's one rule; they had sinned. 
  • Adam and Eve tried to hide from God, but God knew what they had done. God made Adam and Eve leave the garden, but He still loved them. 

Review Questions
  1. What one rule did God give Adam and Eve? 
  2. Sin is disobeying God. What should we do after we have chosen to sin? 

Kids

Review Questions
  1. How did the serpent tempt Eve to eat the fruit?

Students

Main Idea: We can trust God’s boundaries are good.

Summary
This week was a look at the fall of humanity. God set boundaries as a means to help Adam and Eve. However, Satan convinced them that God was keeping something good from them.
 
Review Questions
  1. From Life Group Discussion: What's the point of boundaries? What does it say about God and His character that He would give us boundaries? 
  2. From Life Group Discussion: Satan distorted God's Word. How do we see God's Word being distorted in our culture now? 
  3. How often do we think God is keeping something good from us, when God is probably trying to protect us? What are some of the "good" things we sometimes think God is keeping from us?

Adults

Main Idea: Sin results in shame, separation, and death.
