Children’s Class

This week, our story is from Genesis 3, and it’s really sad. Unfortunately, Adam and Eve didn’t keep the promise they made with God, and like we say every week, their sin broke God’s creation. Their sin didn’t just break their relationship with God—it broke everything. It broke our relationships: Friendships. The way mommies and daddies understand each other. Brothers and Sisters. It also broke God’s creation. This is a very important story, because it explains why sad things happen, why people get sick, why people hurt one another, and why we feel lonely. Sin isn’t just something inside us; it’s all around us, too. It’s the bad things we do, AND it’s the bad things that happen to us. Sin wasn’t supposed to be part of God’s creation. It’s like a disease or a pest that comes in and messes everything up.

But don’t get too sad! Listen for the end of the story—Even though Adam and Eve broke the covenant, God doesn’t stop keeping his promises! God always keeps his promises to be with his people and take care of them! They don’t stop being family just because they disobey. God still LOVES his people and his creation, even though everything is broken. But there are sad consequences.)
