Object Lessons Zone

A series of object lessons on how the Holy Spirit can help us in our everyday lives.

This is a great Children's Ministry object lesson to use when demonstrating the power of the Blood that Jesus shed on the cross.

This object lesson was written for an Awana Grand Prix devotional to be used while the judges were determining the winner.

Object lesson for teaching kids about having an authentic relationship with God. Can also be used for discussing false prophets, the one true God, and such.

Many people spend their lives trying to convince others they are worthy of the kingdom of heaven. While we may look alike and even act alike, only Jesus really knows us. It is our personal relationship with Jesus that saves us, for the shepherd knows His flock.

We all need to let the light of Jesus shine. If we let it extinguish, we become more susceptible to worldly things coming in to fill the void. The same is true in science. A lit candle that sits is a pool of water is extinguished when a vase is placed over it. The loss of the flame (heat) creates a void that is filled by the rising water. But having this light is not enough to fulfill God’s plan, for many are needed to provide sufficient power to change the world. The same is true for science. This is called synergism and can be demonstrated using both a rubber ball and a bag experiment.

God wants every Christian to live a different life than those who do not believe in Him. When we accept Him we transform into a new image, a new form. Letting others actually see what Christ has done for us helps spread the message of Christ to others.

3-5 year olds will construct a king’s crown and a crown of thorns.  

With balloons and fire, kids learn that with the Holy Spirit's help, we can do the right thing even when it's hard.

3-5 year olds will understand the concept of being "poor" as an introduction to 1 Kings 17, God's provision for the widow.

In this wonderful Children's Church lesson we will use the Children of Israel as an example to show the kids how God was leading them to the Promised Land; and how they stopped trusting God when the water ran out. Use 2 balloons, a candle, and an optical illusion.

I did this object lesson for a council time in AWANA. I wanted to paint the picture to the kids that God knows their future and it is good! The following is an outline to be used. Don't feel you have to read word for word. You may want to emphasis different parts for different groups of kids

We don't get our lives pure of sin by picking out sin in our life! We get our lives pure simply by pouring more of God into our lives, and GOD WILL PURIFY US.

This is a twist on the typical "Wordless Book" salvation object lesson.

If we keep our worries to ourselves, we only get tied up and not able to do anything. When we seek God first all the time, even in the middle of problems, He will help us.
