Source: Kids Sunday School Place
Supplies: Plastic Plate, Salt, Pepper, Plastic Spoon
Preparation: None
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point: We may think a relationship is destroyed and that we can't forgive someone. God wants us to forgive and has set the example, because he forgave us.
Illustration: Pour a small amount of salt on the plate. Talk about the salt being like us--pure. Sprinkle a little pepper in the salt. None of us is perfect; we all sin and become like this salt with pepper in it: impure. Is there anyway for us to clean the salt without destroying it? Bring out the plastic spoon and rub it on your clothes. Talk about how God can do anything, and with God's help we can forgive people too. God forgives us of absolutely anything, and if we put our trust in Him, he can help us forgive what we think is unforgivable. Place the spoon over the salt and pepper--the pepper will leap to the spoon, leaving the salt clean again.

Object Lesson | Cup of Pens
Source (Where I saw it): Original
Supplies: Cup of pens, pencils, etc.
Preparation: None
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point: God has a unique, specific plan for each of us, but we all have the same general plan of reaching out to others.
Illustration: This is a cup of various pens and pencils. Each pen and pencil is a little different. They all have different variations in their size, shape, or color, but all of them are held in this cup. Each pen or pencil has a purpose. They are used to write with. Now that is where they change a bit. Each one is used to write different things, so even though they all have the same purpose, that purpose comes out in different ways. People are the same. We are all different sizes, shapes, and colors, but God has all of us in His hands. We each have the same purpose - to love God, and others, but each of us has a unique way to do that b/c God has a unique plan for each of us. We need to understand that God has each of us and help each other accomplish the unique plan has for us, because ultimately we all have that same purpose of showing others the love God has for everyone.
