Sun and Moon, Stand Still

Sun and Moon, Stand Still

• How we thank God for all of this! It is he who
  makes us victorious through Jesus Christ our
  Lord!
• 1 Corinthians 1557

2
The Facts, Please!

• God Created the sun and then moon to make day and
  night on earth and to divide our seasons and
  years. Without them, every living thing would
  die.

More Facts, Please!

• The solar system is made up of the sun, the
  planets, and all the other heavenly bodies-such
  as moons, asteroids, and many meteors. The
  planets and smaller bodies are held in place by
  the pull of the sun, as they travel around it and
  receive and reflect its light and heat. Each has
  a regular path (orbit) around the suns.

More, and More Facts!

• The diameter of the sun is 865,400 miles, which
  is 109 times the diameter of the earth and 400
  times the diameter of the moon. If the sun were
  a two-foot ball, the earth would be the size of a
  pea. The earth makes one revolution around the
  sun in a years time. At the same time, it spins
  once around its axis daily, giving us light (day)
  and darkness (night).

  called the Milky Way, which consists of 100
  billion stars. Some are 10 miles in diameter

  Todays telescopes can identify more than one
  billion galaxies n the universe.

More Facts

• If God can make this huge universe and keep it
  all running in place and in order, he can also
  change any part of it if he chooses to do so.
  The Bible tells an incredible story about a day
  when he did that-the day the sun stood still.
  How did this come about? Did God stop the
  rotation of the earth, so that the sun appeared
  to stand still? Did he cause the whole solar
  system to stop in place for a day? It doesnt
  matter how to happened, but we know it did
  because the Bible says so.

friends or family members who oppose you in your
Christian life? Are temptations, sinners, or
Satan making it difficult for you to right?
Romans 831 says, If God be with us, who can be
against us? On the handout, with a pencil,
trace these words, in order through the maze five
times, going up, down, right, and left.
