2nd Nine Weeks

In week one of the second nine weeks the students learned about the Doctrine of Creation. We read through the Genesis account of creation and discussed it as a class.
My goal the first week was to teach the following concepts:
1. God created everything out of nothing
2. God created man and woman with great care and in HIs image
3. That the earth is young and the theory of evolution is incompatible with the Bible
4. God created all things for His glory

In week two of the second nine weeks the students learned about the Patriarchs and the formation of Israel in the Old Testament
My goal the second nine weeks was to teach the following:
1. Israel began with the calling of Abram in Genesis 12
2. God made a covenant with Abram to make his descendants into a great nation
3. Abraham had Isaac and Isaac had Jacob who had 12 sons who later became the 12 tribes of Israel
