In the Beginning God Created the Heaven and the Earth

Creation Podcast For Kids

January 12–18: “In the Beginning God Created the Heaven and the Earth”

Genesis 1–2⁠; Moses 2–3⁠; Abraham 4–5

Because the world around us is so beautiful and majestic, it’s hard to imagine the earth when it was “without form, and void” and “empty and desolate” (⁠Genesis 1:2⁠; Abraham 4:2⁠). One thing the Creation story teaches us is that God can, over time, make something magnificent out of something unorganized. That’s helpful to remember when life seems chaotic. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are Creators, and Their creative work with us is not finished. They can make light shine in dark moments in our lives. They can fill our emptiness with life. They can transform us into the divine beings we were meant to be. That’s what it means to be created in God’s image, after His likeness (see Genesis 1:26⁠). We have the potential to become like Him: exalted, glorified, heavenly.

This week kids will learn:

“By mine Only Begotten I created these things.” Jesus Christ created the earth under Heavenly Fathers direction. Jesus created the earth.

I am created in the image of God. “We were made to look like our heavenly parents and should treat our bodies with respect.” I was created in God’s image.

Your children can develop a sense of reverence and respect for their own and others’ bodies as they learn that we were all created in God’s image

I am responsible for caring for God’s creations.

God blessed and sanctified the Sabbath day.

Practical tips and role playing for kids to practice explaining why they keep the sabbath day holy to their peers. The Sabbath day is holy.

Audio about the creation taken from see “⁠The Creation of the Earth⁠” in Old Testament Stories⁠, 8–12). The 7 days of creation for kids!
