An object lesson/short talk about anger.

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.

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.

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.
