Introduction to this Series: GOD: Do you know who our Supreme Creator is? It is God! God made our universe and all its wonderful stars and planets. Just like a brick layer lays brick upon brick to build a wall, so also God created the world in order. But who is my heavenly Father? What is he like? Allow the children to talk about the things they know about God. Lead a discussion and explanation of each of the characteristics mentioned below.
He is Everlasting: Where do stars begin and end? Just like the stars have no beginning and no end, GOD is ETERNAL and EVERLASTING! (Romans 1:20)
He is Spirit: He doesn’t have a human body. He is a spirit.
He is Almighty: God is all-powerful. It is by His word that the heavens, the earth, and all its creatures were made! (Job 37:23)
He is All-knowing: God knows everything about you! He knows your past, your present, and your future. God even knows when you do something big or small, good or bad.
He is Holy: Being Holy is to be without sin. Yet we sin every day. We tell lies, we are naughty, we steal, we do wrong, but God never does any of these bad things. Revelation 14:15 says God alone is holy. He is sinless.

Below is a Parable/Story to help us better understand the one and only Eternal God

THE CIRCUMSTANCE
 In a quiet village between rolling hills, there lived a young boy named Micah. It was a place where everyone knew one another and where life unfolded peacefully. One day, Micah was helping his father tend to their flock of sheep. The sun cast a warm glow over the pastures, and a gentle breeze rustled the leaves. Micah’s heart felt light as he gazed at the beauty around him.

THE CHOICE  (Job 38:4)

As Micah watched over the sheep, he began to wonder about the world beyond hisvillage. His heart stirred with curiosity, about how really large creation is, and the mysteries of life. He thought about the stories his grandmother used to tell him, stories of a God who created the heavens and the earth. Micah had always believed in God, but now he felt a desire to know more about God, and His wonderful creation. He remembered the words from the ancient scrolls, “Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?” (Job 38:4). Micah’s curiosity grew stronger each day. He wanted to explore the wilderness, to see the high mountains, and to feel the rush of the mighty rivers. But his many duties kept him close to the village when his heart longed to go further. One evening, as the sun set in a burst of colors, Micah found himself facing the biggest decision of his life. He asked himself, “Do I stay within these well-known
boundaries, or do I go into the unknown?”

THE CONSEQUENCE (Job 38:16).
Micah’s heart was torn, but deep within, he felt a bit of new courage start to grow within him. He made a choice. He decided to go on a journey beyond the hills that had always been his horizon. His family and friends were worried, but they saw the determination in his eyes. As he set off, Micah carried with him the words of the Creator, “Have you entered into the springs of the sea, or walked in the recesses of the deep?” (Job 38:16).

THE LIFE LESSON  (Isaiah 43:2). (Children we are going to pretend we are going on a journey. Take the fingers of your right hand and have them walk on your left arm. Our journey has started just like Micha’s.) The journey was not easy. Micah faced challenges and uncertainties, but he pressed on, driven by a thirst for knowledge and a desire to experience the wonders of creation. He crossed valleys, climbed mountains, and crossed rivers. Along the way, he encountered creatures he had only heard about in stories—lions, eagles, and even a mysterious creature called a behemoth (Job 40:15). Micah marveled at the intricate designs of each creature and the harmony of their existence. As Micah’s journey continued, he began to understand the Creator’s wisdom. He realized that just as the Creator cared for every detail of the natural world, He also cared for every detail of his life. Micah’s faith deepened as he thought about the promise from the scrolls, “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you” (Isaiah 43:2). When Micah returned to his village, he was a changed young man. He had witnessed the beauty and wonder of creation, and he had encountered the Creator’s love in every step of his journey. His village celebrated his return, and he shared his stories with them. Micah’s courage to step beyond his comfort zone led him to a deeper faith and a richer understanding of God’s handiwork.
