Here are the questions for the Koinonia Class to be conducted on October 7, 2012.

1.  Compare the creation story of Genesis Chapter 1 with Genesis Chapter 2 verses 1 thru 6.  How do you reconcile these two variations of the creation story?

2.  How does God create man in Genesis Chapter 2 verse 7, and how does this passage compare to Chapter 1 verse 27?  Taken together, what do these passages tell you about God's creation of humans?

3.  What are the names of the two (2) major trees God provided in the Garden and what did God instruct Adam about how he should use the fruit of these two trees?

4.  From Chapter 2 verse 18, why did God create woman and how was she valued by God"?

5.  Under the assumption the two trees of Genesis are symbols for our life today, what represents, in today's world, the Tree of Life" and the "Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil" in your life?

Teresa will be leading the class this Sunday so please come prepared to support her.

We had a very excellent Koinonia Sunday School today as we read and discussed Chapter 1 of the book of Genesis.  We talked about what God actually created first and then covered the various creation techniques God used as identified in Chapter 1.  Most everyone of our 18 member class had something to offer.  Next week (9/30/12) we will stay with Chapter 1 and address the following additional questions.

1.  What does the term "Light" (in verse 3-5) mean to you?
2.  What is the difference between the "Light" of the "First Day" and the "Light" of the "Fourth Day"?
3.  How does God give shape and order to the formless earth?
4.  In your own words, and per the Chapter 1 wording, explain how God fills the empty heaven and earth.
5.  List the characteristics of humans creation from Genesis 1:26-28.
6. What provisions did God give humans?
7.  What provisions has God given to you?
8.  How has Genesis Chapter 1 encouraged you?

We hope to see you in class and as always I hope you -

Have a Great Day and Enjoy Life!
