15 mins: [🔥🔥]
Activity:
Begin by revisiting last session’s homework and invite the children to share what they discovered.
*** Younger Kids’ Question:
“If you have mobile phones, do you still need other people?”
Teacher Remark:
Yes, we absolutely need other people. Today we will see how God made humans in such a special way that only another human can truly be a suitable companion—not even the strongest lion or the cutest panda (Genesis 2:20).
*** Older Kids’ Question:
“Can someone be born in the wrong body?”
Teacher Remark:
This idea has become popular in recent times and is often used to justify the sinful nature of humanity. It suggests that a person’s mind can be one gender while the body is another. Science itself has not found evidence to support a separation between the mind and the body. The Bible clearly says that God created humans in His image—male and female—two genders (Genesis 1:27). Ideas that go against God’s design do not come from Him and are addressed in Scripture (Romans 1).
Transition: In today’s lesson, we will learn how thoughtfully God created humans, how deeply He cares for them, and how much we truly matter to Him.
Time: 20 mins [🔥]
Bible Portion: Genesis 1:27; Genesis 2:18–24
Activity: Story Time
Event Outline:
God deeply loved the man He created and cared about even the smallest details of his life. God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”
So, God formed animals and brought them to Adam. God watched as Adam named them, but none of them were a suitable helper for him. Adam liked the animals, but something was missing.
Because God loved Adam so much, He wanted the very best for him. God caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep, took one of his ribs, and created a woman. God waited to see if she would be the right companion—and she was.
Through this, God met one of humanity’s deepest needs: relationship with another human being. Humans were never created to live alone. That is why God gave us parents, families, and friends.
But God did not stop there. Adam and Eve still had their greatest need—God Himself. God walked with them in the garden and talked with them. The greatest need you will ever have is not another person or a device—it is God. And God desires a close relationship with you.
Time: 20 mins [🔥🔥 ]
Activity: Debate – “The Effects of Mobile Phones on Human Connection”
• Divide the class into two groups
• Group 1: “Mobile phones help people connect better”
• Group 2: “Mobile phones push people farther apart”
• Periodically switch topics so both groups discuss both sides
Purpose:
Help children think critically about relationships, connection, and how technology affects human bonds.
Time: 5 mins [🔥]
Ask the children to complete the following home project:
👉 Before the next class, reach out to someone you haven’t spoken to in a long time. If possible, meet them in person—or call them and have a real conversation.
