We pause for a moment to reflect on the size of the universe, question the existence of extra-terrestrials, marvel at God's advanced astronomical revelations in the Book of Job, point out sea monsters in the Creation account, and highlight history's oldest insights into the water cycle before moving on to day 5 and the creation of water and sky creatures.

SMALL GROUP QUESTIONS:

Just for Fun: The Bible talks about sea monsters like Leviathan (which may have had multiple heads!). Are there any other mythical creatures or places you think might be real (or have existed in the past)?

Genesis 1 cannot be reconciled with evolutionary theory. Which biblical truths have you found most controversial to the non-believers in your life, and why do you think that is?

After God creates Adam and Eve, he blesses them in Genesis 1:28 with the instructions to “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth”. What does it look like for Christians to faithfully obey this command today?

Should Christians feel the freedom to make this an issue of conscience or personal choice? Why or why not?

Read Matthew 6:25-34.

Share a time when you were astonished by how God cared or provided for you in a very personal and specific way.
