I AM INCREDIBLE! You are
Special!
"Who Am I?"
I
am unique and created by God in
His image...
I am INCREDIBLE!
Scripture:
Psalm 139, Genesis 1 & 2, verses
in John
You are Special Bible Lesson Memory
verse:
I praise You
because I am fearfully and
wonderfully made;
Your works are wonderful, I
know that full well. Psalm
139:14
You are
Special Central thought:
I am
incredible because I am created unique
& in Gods image!
Points to
Emphasize - You are Special We
are each created to be wonderfully
unique and can say "I am
incredible!" because God created
us in His image!
"
God knows me & wants me to know
Him. He is all- seeing, all-knowing,
all-powerful, and everywhere
present&He is the great I AM.
"
Because of sin though we no longer
reflect Gods image, but His greatest
gift is to allow us to know Him
through Jesus!
"
When we are Incredible for God, we
make Him credible to others!
The book of Psalms is near the center
of their Bible and actually a book of
songs.
Psalm 139 was written by David.
In verse 14 David points out that we
have been made wonderfully the
Hebrew word there Pala (paw-law)
translated means to distinguish, put
a difference, show marvelous,
separate, set apart, sever, make
wonderfully .
David realized God had made him
unique&different&even maybe a
little weird !, and that was a
wonderful thing! There is and never
has been nor ever will be another
me&another you! God never
makes a duplicate! Even twins
have differences!
Who is
God?
He is the
Creator! He knows me & wants me to
know Him!
Lets look at Psalm 139:1-6
From the very beginning of creation,
God has wanted us to know Him. Lets
go back and look at Genesis 2.
It tells the creation story also, but
there is something unique &
different. Have students compare
Genesis 1:1 with Genesis 2:4 to
see what is different about what
God is called. In chapter 1 it
just says God in chapter 2 over and
over He is called LORD God. This
is special and unique!
Look through chapter 2 and count how
many times they see LORD in capital
letters.
Any time you see LORD in all capital
letters in the Bible it is Gods
personal name! From the very
beginning God wanted us to know
Him&to have a relationship with
Him!
When God spoke to Moses out of the
burning bush, Moses asked God who he
should say had sent him to lead the
people out of Egypt. God told
Moses to tell the people
that
I AM, WHO I AM had sent him.
God is and always has been. He
was not created. He has always
existed and always will exist.
He is is all-seeing, all-knowing,
all-powerful, and everywhere
present&He is the great I
AM&and He wants us to know Him and
know Him by His personal name!
There is still a problem
though&that sin that messed up our
image of God in us&it also keeps
us away from knowing God.
We cant fix it ourselves (try wiping
off the marker with a wet wipe; it
should make the picture even
worse). We just make things
worse. The only way to fix it
would be to take a new picture.
2 Corinthians 5:17 tells us that we
can be made into new creations!
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he
is a new creation; old things have
passed away; and look, new things have
come. It makes me think of an
ugly caterpillar that turns into a
beautiful butterfly!
Jesus called it being born
again. When He was talking to
Nicodemus one day. (Read John 3:3)
That didnt make sense to Nicodemus
& Jesus went on to explain
John 3:16. Did you know that
Jesus had said those words to
Nicodemus? Jesus made a way through
His death and resurrection for us to
be made new & like a new
photo&to be made in the image of
God again!
Read John 3:16 . What did John 3:16
say God did? What does it say we
need to do to be right with God again
and have eternal life?
Believe&it means to not only
believe in our head, but in our hearts
we are to trust God with all that we
are.
God wants us to know Him through Jesus
Christ. He is I AM .
A little further in the Gospel of
John, Jesus uses 7 I am statements
to tell Who He is.
Look up John 14:6 . This scripture
reminds us that Jesus, God Himself,
said that He was the WAY, the TRUTH,
& the LIFE&no one comes to the
Father except through Him. The
world may say there are many ways to
God, many ways to heaven, but Jesus
said He is the ONLY way. Who
will we believe & trust?
John 6:35 I am the bread of
life. (He is all we need.)
John 8:12 I am the light of the
world. (He guides us. He helps
us see&)
John 10:9 I am the gate. or I am
the door. (He stands guard. He
is the way&)
John 10:11 I am the good shepherd.
(He watches over us. He takes
care of us&)
John 11:25 I am the resurrection and
the life.
John 14:6 I am the way and the truth
and the life.
John 15:1 I am the vine.
Every time you see the word LORD all
in capital letters, let it remind you
of Who God is and how much He loves
you! He created you unique and
special and to be incredible for Him!
Remember - "I am incredible!"
1. I Am
Created!
I am INCREDIBLE
because God created me in His image!
2. I Am
Chosen!
I am INCREDIBLE
because God loves me and lets me
choose Him!
3. I Am
Christs!-
I am INCREDIBLE
because with Jesus I am never alone;
He is always
with me & has
made me a part of Gods family!
4. I am
Called! I am INCREDIBLE because
God has a plan & purpose for
my life!

BOOKS
OF THE BIBLE
New
Teaching Study Material for Old
Testament
LESSON SNAPSHOT:
God wants
us to
know what 's in the Bible and
where to find it.
There are 66 Books in the Bible.
Old Testament: 39 books
New Testament: 27 books
Think
about it like this: there are
3 letters in Old and there are 9
letters in Testament - join the 3
& 9 together and you get 39.
If you
take and same 3 & 9 and make
them 3 X 9 that equal 27.
The number
of books in the New Testament
27!
Wasn't
that Easy!
God says the Bible is like a
sword. Just like a sword takes
practice
to use, we need to practice using
God's Word. One of the ways we
can
do that is by knowing what God has
included in the Bible and where we
can find it.
Memory Verse: God
has breathed life into all
Scripture. It is useful for
teaching
us
what is true. It is useful
for correcting our mistakes.
It
is useful
for making our lives whole
again. It is useful for
training us to
do
what is right. 2 Timothy
3:16 NIrV
***********************************************************************
Summary:

the world and chose a special
