  8. Genesis 2: 5-25 God entrusted the world to Adam and Eve. He gave them free will – the freedom to make choices on their own. They ignored God’s instruction and made a bad choice. Activity: Can you think of some good and bad choices at school and home?

  9. Noah’s ark But one man, Noah, was living well. He did not follow the example of the people around him. Instead, he followed God. God decided to start again and He chose Noah to help him. God saved Noah and his family, and all of the animals of the world. God was unhappy with how humans were living. They were being selfish, fighting and not caring for his creation.

  11. Exodus 3: 8-17 • The book of Exodus tells us how God revealed himself to his chosen people and saved them from their life of slavery in Egypt. • The Pharaoh of Egypt was a cruel man who treated the Israelites terribly. • God chose an old man named Moses to stand up to Pharaoh and lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Moses did not think his people would believe him but God said He would help Moses and Moses’ brother, Aaron, would also help him to speak to them.
