Object Lesson | New Toy

Source (Where I saw it): Original

Supplies: A new toy of some kind (make it something exciting)

Preparation: Find a new toy of some kind

The object lesson & how I used it...

Main Point: We need to be excited about doing things for God!

Illustration: Show the kids your brand new toy.  Explain to them how you have waited a really long time to get this toy.  (Be really excited about it).  Then just put it down and say something like, “Well I guess I will leave it here,” and start to walk away.  Some of the kids will ask what you are doing.  If not, just ask, “How many of you would leave your brand new toy alone and not play with it?”  Of course not!  You would play with it all the time!  It is the same with us.  God has given us talents, and gifts, and yet we don’t use them now in the present.  We have different excuses, like we aren’t old enough yet or I’m scared to do something, but if God has given us the ability to do something then He will help us accomplish the task!

Examples of some things kids can do: Pray, Raise money for missions, Help others, etc.
