Dinosaurs and Dragons - VBS by Pastor Ronnie Koch
Many children are enthralled with Dinosaurs and Dragons. Ancient bones that have been dug up seem to tell stories of great beasts that once roamed the land, sea and sky. In our Vacation Bible School today we talked about three important lessons the Bible has about Dinosaurs and Dragons.
1. God Created All Creatures.
Genesis 1: 24 And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds—livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so.
There are no beasts or monsters that are outside of God’s creation or outside of God’s control.
2. God Cared for All Creatures.
Especially in the days of Noah God protected them from the flood.
Genesis 7:14-16 every beast, according to its kind, and all the livestock according to their kinds, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, according to its kind, and every bird, according to its kind, every winged creature. 15 They went into the ark with Noah, two and two of all flesh in which there was the breath of life. 16 And those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded him. And the LORD shut him in.
3. All Creatures Praise God.
Dinosaurs and Dragons teach us how powerful and wise our Creator is.
Psalm 148:7 & 10 Praise the LORD from the earth,
you great sea creatures and all deeps,
Beasts and all livestock,
creeping things and flying birds
