Puppet – Have a puppet come up with a baseball hat on. Have the MC ask why he is wearing a baseball hat. The puppet will explain that he is wearing a baseball hat because we are studying Genesis. The MC will look perplexed and ask what baseball has to do with creation. The puppet explains that God created the heaven and earth at a baseball game. The MC tells the puppet that the puppet must have something mixed up. The puppet tells the MC to pull out his Bible and read Genesis 1:1. The MC does just that and still doesn’t understand what that has to do with baseball. The puppet then explains that the bible says “In the BIG–INNING” you know like a baseball inning. The MC laughs then explains that isn’t a baseball inning it is talking about baseball it is talking about how God created the world and how he created you and me from the start the beginning.

Bible Story – Tell the story of how God created man.
Genesis 1:26-31
26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, [b] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
27 So God created man in his own image, 
       in the image of God he created him; 
       male and female he created them.
28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.
31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
