Source (Where I saw it): Original
Supplies: Bag of Chips
Preparation: None
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point: We need to let God use us! Don't be a stale christian!
Illustration: Ask the kids if they like chips! Ask them who would want some. Then explain how hungry you are, and you got the chips from waaaaaaay back in the cabinet. Open the back and gasp. Tell them it kind of smells a little bit, and you wonder if it has to do with the fact they have been in the cabinet for 7 years now. Ask them if you should still eat them. (Of course you are going to some kids say yes.) Explain to them that food ends up going bad or stale after a while. You don’t want to eat spoiled, stale, or rotten food! You have to eat food when it is good or you can miss out on the great taste! So many of us let our talents and abilities that God has given us go stale. We miss opportunities to show God’s love to people. God wants us to use our talents right now in the present!
Examples of some things kids can do: Pray, Raise money for missions, Help others, etc.
