An object lesson on how to get into the Word and stay there! In order to stay there, we need to know the Plan to follow.

God gives each of us talents. Being a true Christian means using these God-given gifts to do the work God is calling us to do.

We need to be like a PEZ dispenser and always dispense sweet things out of our mouths.

Just as Daniel was protected from the lions and Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were protected from the fiery furnace, so can sand be put underwater and remain dry and a cloth burn without igniting. While not always God’s will to protect our earthly bodies, our heavenly bodies are protected by God by the sacrifice of His Son Jesus, if we seek it.

Without Jesus we are broken and incomplete, but He wants to make us brand new. This lesson teaches where a new life in Christ begins. It can be used for a New Year's Eve event at your church. The attached PowerPoint can also be used to emphasize that "God Wants You to be Brand New".

I wanted to explain how God was proud and loved Adam and Eve before they ate the fruit. I also wanted the children to feel how God felt when he was disappointed but he still loved them both.

3-part object lesson about spreading the Good News.

The “Parable of the Sower”, as written in Mark 4:3-8, describes the Word of God given to his people. The “Parable of the Tenants”, as written in Matthew 25:14-30, describes our responsibility to grow His Word. In this demonstration, we sow our “seeds” in fertile soil, add nurturing agents, and watch the expansion of the Word grow 100 times instantly.

As children hold a string, they take a step back each time Joseph exercises faith and trust in God. The string is compared to faith the “size of a mustard seed” as Jesus explained in the parable of the Mustard Seed.

When YOU accept Jesus as your Savior, He wants to leave His mark on you - a transformed life! And in exchange for your giving your life to Him, He will protect you from the Enemy and the ultimate consequences of your sin.

Even King David, a man after God's own heart, fell into sin. When he took another man's wife, he made his life really gross and nasty! But God (and only God) can fix that...

God has the strength. You have the faith. Together these can do anything. In this experiment, you will make a leap of faith and walk on water. Just as Peter had a chance to demonstrate his trust in God, so you can show your faith. You are not alone. Jesus is with you, always. You can be brave with Jesus.

This idea is from our Awana time lessons. It kept the attention of the clubbers and proved to be a fantastic example for them to relate to based on 2 Corinthians 5:17- Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

The world tries to make us think that riches, possessions and things are what truly satisfy, but Jesus is the only one who can truly and fully satisfy. The Three Amigos DVD clip, “the canteen scene,” illustrates how a trek through the burning desert turns into a desperate search for water. Sadly, nothing else will satisfy, but a refreshing drink of water.

A Savior has come with the power to turn water into wine, to shed His blood for our salvation.

An object lesson on what to do with angry feelings. Don't pour fuel on the flame - put it out!

Heating a balloon with a candle pops an empty balloon, just as one sin hurts our connection to God. But a balloon filled with water will not pop, even when put directly into a candle flame. The protection conferred from the ‘living water’ is similar to protection from salvation; both priceless yet free, both available to everyone, and both necessary for life, physical or eternal.

An object lesson/short talk about anger.

The world is constantly judging everything on the way it looks and it is easy for kids to fall in this same pattern. This object lesson is a good reminder that God looks at the heart and we need to do the same.

The best gift is not always the one that looks the best!

This is a great object lesson idea that I heard from Rob Bell once. The main point is to illustrate how death in so many cases actually brings us life.

In this exercise, several unbelievable tasks will be performed that will be viewed as miraculous. However, these tasks are but tricks of science. The miraculous events in the Bible, though, are true miracles, that by definition exceed scientific explanation. The belief that these biblical events occurred as written in the Bible is pivotal to building a connection to God; our faith in God is only as strong as our faith in the bible as God's Word.
