God Makes Plants Grow Lesson 1Bible PointGod Makes Things GrowBible VerseGod makes things grow (adapted from 1 Corinthians 3:7).Growing Closer to JesusChildren will n learn that God makes all things grow,n discover different plants that God helps grow, andn explore some of the ways that God helps things grow.Teacher EnrichmentBible Basisn God makes plants grow.Psalms65:9-13;104:14; 147:8;Matthew6:25-30The texts in this module are a celebration of God’s beautifulcreation. In much of the world today, people live in urbanareas. Urbanization is a major cause of pollution and rapiddepletion of the earth’s natural resources. But there isanother, often overlooked, drawback to urbanization. Thechildren who grow up in the inner cities have fewer andfewer opportunities to experience the wonders of creation.Caterpillars, cocoons, and butterflies. Sweeping pine forests.Clear flowing streams and mirror lakes. The children you teach today might not havemany opportunities to experience such things, or perhaps some who do have learnedto take them for granted. As teachers, we need to see the world as an opportunityto see the glory of the God who created all things. Help your children see that thewonder of creation is a tribute to the wonderful Creator who made it all.Prayer Read: Genesis 2:8-9a. What is the most beautiful, lush place you’ve ever visited? How do you think theGarden of Eden must have compared? When are times when witnessing the beauty of nature leads you to praise God? Pray: Lord, what a wonderful artist you are. You created the world to be sobeautiful. Help me and the children I teach see your beauty in it every day.Before the Lessonn Collect items for the activities you plan to use, referring to the Classroom Suppliesand Learning Lab Supplies listed in the chart on the next page.n Pray for the children in your class and for God’s direction in teaching the lesson.The Lesson at a Glance chartgives you a quick overview of thelesson and lists the supplies you’llneed for each activity.

Explain. (No, because it’s not real; no,because we pulled it out of the bag.) What does a real vegetable need to grow? (Water; sunshine; dirt.) How does God make real vegetables grow? (He makes the sunshine; hesends the rain.)Say: Our veggie was only pretend. And a real vegetable doesn’t grow asfast as our pretend one. We used this fishing line to help our veggie grow.But it was fun to watch our pretend veggie grow, wasn’t it?Ask: What’s your favorite vegetable to eat? (Carrots, corn, potatoes.)
