Props for the Skit: * Harry the Camel Puppet * Fake snake • Apples or some other large “forbidden” fruit • Sound effects such as waterfall, tropical rain forest, etc. • Adam and Eve should dress in snug apparel like leggings, body suits, etc. Script: Harry Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome. My name is Harry the Camel, and I will be your host during your travels in the time machine. If everyone will be very quiet, I will tell you a very cool story about the beginning of time. There are some cool motions to go with it, so follow along. In the beginning God created the heavens, (children reach for the sky) that’s way up there, (tilt head up) and the earth, that’s under our feet (stomp feet). A great, empty darkness covered everything. (cover eyes) And God said, “Let there be light,” (uncover eyes) and there was light. I wonder how He did that? Wouldn’t it be cool to just say it and it is? Like I could say, let there be a hot fudge sundae in my hand, and there it would be. Oh, well. I guess God is the only one who could do that. I wonder if he makes himself hot fudge sundaes? Oh, I should get back to the story. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning of the first day. And God said, “Let there be “sky” above the waters (reach for sky). And that was the second day. ©ChristianGamesandCrafts.com ATM VBS Day 1 Lesson Skit: God Is Our Creator And God said, “Let there be seas, and land. Let the land produce plants and trees.” (Pretend to be a tree. If you have waterfall sound effects, start them). And it was good. And this was the end of the third day. And God said, “Let there be lights in the sky to separate the day from the night. (Turn on back light). And God made a bright golden sun to light the sky and warm the earth, and a glowing moon and stars to fill the night sky. God saw that it was good. And this was the fourth day. And God said, “Let the water be filled with living creatures, that would be fish and whales and crabs, (Put palms together and wiggle in front of you like a fish). and let birds fly above the earth and across the sky.” (Pretend to be a bird). And this was the fifth day. And God said, “Let living creatures fill the land.” And God made every type of animal like cows that moo (moo), dogs that bark (bark), cats that meow (meow) and CAMELS, just like me. Does anyone know what sound a camel makes? Here goes. Nurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Can you do it with me this time? And camels that nur (Nurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr). Wow, I feel like I’m back home in the camel herd. Can you do it one more time for me? And camels that nur. (Nurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr). Then God said, “Let us make people to take care of the new world.” So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. They were named Adam and Eve and God gave them His perfect world in which to live and care for. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And this was the sixth day. Now everything was complete, and on the seventh day God rested. (Pretend to sleep). After all of that, I would be tired too, wouldn’t you? Now God created a special garden in Eden where Adam and Eve were to live and in the center of the garden stood a special tree. Let’s listen and maybe we can hear what is going on. Adam: Look, Eve. That animal runs like the wind. Look how beautiful it is with it’s tail flowing behind and its mane rippling in the sun. I think I will call it a horse. Eve: Horse, that’s a wonderful name, Adam. What about this? It is soft and delicate and smells wonderful. Adam: Hmmm. How about flower? Eve: Flower. That would be perfect. God will be so pleased with all the names you have chosen for his beautiful creations. We can tell Him when He comes to visit later. Adam: I think I hear him now. ©ChristianGamesandCrafts.com ATM VBS Day 1 Lesson Skit: God Is Our Creator God: Adam? Eve? Where are you? Adam: (Waves arm). We’re over here, Lord, naming the animals as you asked. Eve: (Points) That’s a horse, drinking from the lake over there. And this, in my hair, is a flower. God: Those are wonderful names you have chosen. You have done well. And do you have plenty to eat and drink? Adam: Of course. We have everything around us that you have provided. God: You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree that gives knowledge of good and evil, if you eat from it you will die. Adam: The tree in the middle of the garden that has the large red fruit? God: That is the tree. Adam: That is such a little thing to ask. We promise never to go near it or eat its fruit. God: That is good. Well, you have had a busy day, and I am sure you are tired. I will visit tomorrow. I love you, Adam. I love you, Eve. Adam and Eve: We love you, Lord. (God departs). Adam: Now that God’s visit is over, I will go and fetch some water from the lake for dinner. Eve: And I will gather some food. (Adam leaves and the snake appears). Snake: (In a hissing voice) Did God really say that you must not eat from a certain tree in the garden? Eve: God said we couldn’t eat fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden, and we must not not touch it, or we will die. Snake: You will not die. God knows that when you eat from it you will be wise. You will be like God, knowing good and evil. Eve: It does look good. (Eve reaches up and takes an apple in her hand and takes a bite out of it). And it tastes good too. (Adam returns). Here, Adam, have some. ©ChristianGamesandCrafts.com ATM VBS Day 1 Lesson Skit: God Is Our Creator (Adam also eats the fruit. Then God returns). God: Adam? Eve? Adam: Hurry, we must hide, before God sees what we have done. (Adam and Eve hide out of site of the screen). God: Adam? Where are you? Adam: We’re hiding. God: Why are you hiding? Adam: We’re afraid. God: Did you disobey and eat the fruit you were not allowed to eat? Adam: Eve ate it first and then she gave me some. Eve: The snake said it would be all right, but he tricked me. God: You disobeyed me. You have broken your promise to me and sinned for all of man. You must leave the Garden of Eden and never return. You will not eat from the tree of life and live forever. Because of your sin, you must one day die. (Back light goes out). Harry: And Adam and Eve sadly left the beautiful Garden of Eden, to go out into the world alone. From that day forward, whenever they saw God they felt ashamed and afraid. Because they had disobeyed, their special relationship with God had forever changed. ©ChristianGamesandCrafts.com.

  • Weekly Message of Torah from Rabbi Rheins Parashat Tetzaveh Keeping
    Weekly Message of Torah from Rabbi Rheins Parashat Tetzaveh Keeping The Light Shining Against The Onslaught of Anti-Semitism This week’s Torah portion, Tetzaveh, includes the instruction for maintaining the Ner Tamid, the menorah that would shine a continuous light to brighten the inner sanctum of the tabernacle. We were commanded to kindle the lights every single day and that this mitzvah was an eternal obligation for every generation. To this day, every synagogue has a Ner Tamid that glows above the Araon Kodesh, the Ark that contains the Torah scrolls. The reasons for this light are both practical and symbolic. Yes, there is a logical function to having a light that illumines our sanctuaries. And it is also true that the Ner Tamid represents the inextinguishable spirit of the Jewish people: our commitment to be a light unto the nations and to resist those who are bent on evil. In an ancient midrash, Rabbi Berechiah taught that though the Ner Tamid is a commandment from God, the light is for our benefit alone: “‘And the earth was chaos and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep’ (Genesis 1:2). What follows? ‘And God said, let there be light!’ The Holy One said, ‘I have even created light in the midst of darkness. Do I need your light?’” (Vayikra Rabba 31.7) We need the light. And we need to keep kindling the light because in every generation there are those who are determined to sow chaos. This past Sunday, Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) tweeted vicious comments against Jews.

  • GENESIS 1 – 3 and the CROSS the Connection Between the Gospel and the Creation Scriptures?
    GENESIS 1 – 3 AND THE CROSS The connection between the Gospel and the creation Scriptures? The story of the Bible begins with God in eternal glory before the beginning of time and history, and it ends with God and his redeemed people in eternal glory. At the center stands the cross, where God revealed his glory through his Son. The history of salvation is the grand overarching story of the Bible; embracing it gives coherence to all of life. It calls each of God's people to own the story personally and it dignifies each believer with a role in the further outworking of the story. The biblical story of redemption must be understood within the larger story of creation. First Adam, and later Israel, were placed in God's sanctuary… the Garden of Eden and the Promised Land, respectively. But both Adam and Israel failed to be a faithful, obedient steward, and both were expelled from the sanctuary God had created for them. But Jesus Christ—the second Adam, the son of Abraham, the son of David—was faithful and obedient to God. Though the world killed him, God raised him to life, which meant that death was defeated. Through his Spirit, God pours into sinners the resurrection life of his Son, creating a new humanity “in Christ.” Those who are “in Christ” move through death into new life and exaltation in God's sanctuary, there to enjoy his presence forever. Genesis and origins The English title “Genesis” comes from the Greek translation of the Pentateuch and means “origin,” a very apt title because Genesis is all about origins—of the world, of the human race, of sin, death, and of the Jewish people.

    Christchurch Baptist Fellowship June 10, 2018 Let There Be Light! Texts: Genesis 1:1-3; I John 1:5 Have you ever heard the expression, “That certainly puts light on the subject” or “it came to light?” Shortly before his premature death, the most famous country and western star of his time, Hank Williams, was in a limousine between two (what the world would call) attractive women in a very downcast mood. The women tried to cheer him up. One spoke up and said, “Why, Hank, you’re the one who sang, I Saw the Light!” He quickly answered, “Yeah, but there just ain’t no light.” There was and there is Light. He just sang about it, but never experienced it. We must come to the Light to see the light. Psalm 36:9: “For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.” I. GOD IS LIGHT. II. I John 1:5: “This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” Amen! There is no dark side of God. Psalm 119:68 simply and beautifully says, “Thou art good, and doest good….” Speaking of Jesus, Hebrews 1:3 informs us, “Who being the Brightness of His Glory, and the Express Image of His Person….” In John 14:9b Jesus said, “… he that hath seen me hath seen the Father….” Jesus is God and is therefore the light of the world. John 8:12: “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” John 9:5: “As long as I am in the world, I am the Light of the World.” II.

  • Let There Be Light by Martin G
    Let There Be Light by Martin G. Collins (http://www.cgg.org) Let There Be Light Martin G. Collins Given 25-Jul-20; Sermon #1555c I could start this by summarizing what's going on out there right now: “The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God!’” (Psalm 14:1; 53:1) The book of Genesis opens with a majestic description of how God first created the heavens and earth and then how He organized the earth. It conveys the picture of the all-powerful, transcendent God who sets everything in place with supreme skill in conformity to His grand design. The emphasis of chapter one is mainly on how God orders or structures everything. Genesis 1:1-2 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. The effect of the opening words of the Bible is to establish that God, in His perfect wisdom, sovereign power, and majesty, is the Creator of all things that exist. Genesis 1 says that God created everything, but it is also an account of how God has structured creation in its organized complexity. We are introduced in the first three days to day, night, the heavens, earth, seas—all these items, and only these, being specifically named by God. After declaring that God is the Creator of all things, the focus of the rest of Genesis 1 (beginning in verse 3) is mainly on God bringing things into existence by His Word and organizing the created things (such as, “let the waters .

  • Let There Be Light Rabbi Dr
    Let There Be Light Rabbi Dr. Norman Lamm Chancellor and Rosh Hayeshiva, Yeshiva University This article was originally delivered by Rabbi Lamm as a derasha in the Jewish Center in NYC on Rosh Hashana in 1961 One of the fascinating minor themes in our rabbinic literature concerning the Shofar is that of confusing and confounding Satan, the devil or angel of evil. Thus, we blow the Shofar all during the month of Elul, larbev et ha-satan, in order to confuse Satan as to when Rosh Hashanah falls. Before sounding the Shofar on Rosh Hashanah we recite six verses from the Psalms, beginning with Koli shamata. The initial letters of these lines spell kera satan, destroy or confound Satan. And, finally, we sound the Shofar twice, one series before the Amidah and another during its repetition by the cantor, again l'arbev et ha-satan, to confuse Satan.1 What does all this mean? Are we involved in a kind of game with the devil? Is this an echo of a non-Jewish mythology? I believe not. I believe that there is a far deeper Jewish thought in these words, one for which the expression l'arbev et ha-satan is a kind of poetic garment. This idea, of which Shofar comes to remind us, is that we right-thinking, well-meaning, loyal Jews — that we must not be confused! Satan always seems to be better organized and more efficient. The forces of evil and tyranny on the international scene are usually far more effective and disciplined than these of democracy and peace.

  • Let There Be Light
    “Let There be Light” is the pinnacle of my creative experimentations, a work in which I am not the artist, rather the co-creator, during which I channeled the power to create something out of nothing.” Lynn Rae Lowe In the Beginning - My Personal Story of Creating Light from Darkness How often do the most insignificant gifts, random moments, or sparks of inspiration lead to the creation of light from darkness, and the resolution to share that new light with others? At his 2001 rabbinical graduation, Rabbi Mark Miller received a gift from his Father-in-Law, Mark Bauman, of Tucson. The gift was a bronze sculpture by a certain Tucson artist; a small piece that would grow over the years into a collection. That artist was me. Throughout the years, when we would connect, Rabbi Mark would say, “someday, when I’m head Rabbi, I will commission you for a major piece of art.” After about seven years, around 2008, we lost touch. Numbers connect. Four years ago, in 2015, my nephew Erik’s daughter was bat mitzvahed in the same Temple where I was confirmed; only the Temple had relocated from Detroit to West Bloomfield, Michigan. As a teenager in Detroit, I had sung in the second level choir, above and behind the Bimah. When the service failed to hold my attention, I would look up at the domed ceiling that depicted the Torah – my own Sistine Chapel with God reaching out to me. I could almost touch Him! Looking back, those two experiences, singing in the choir and interacting with the visual Torah, were my first exposures to a creative spark that has enriched and enlightened by life.
