To begin the session:
Distribute copies of the “Word Transformation” exercise from the activity page, which you can download here. Have learners work in pairs to complete as indicated. (Option: This exercise can be done as a race. Do as many rounds as time allows.)
After the activity, say, “Transformation often happens in stages, but it can bring about dramatic changes. In today’s lesson, look for the ways God promises to transform his creation.”
To engage the learners in a study of the Scripture text:
Distribute copies of the “Reverse the Curse” exercise from the activity page. Have learners complete it individually (in one minute or less) before discussing conclusions with a partner. Allow additional time for pairs to share and discuss their responses and thoughts with the whole group.
