Object Lesson | Candy Priority

Source (Where I saw it): Original

Supplies: Candy of different kinds

Preparation: None

The object lesson & how I used it...

Main Point - God needs to be our #1

Illustration: Two people come in with their hands filled with candy.  They talk about how much they love candy!  They then start asking each other which is their favorite out of the candy they have.  They go into detail about ranking the candy, taking each kind and describing its sugary goodness.  Make sure to talk about how it smells and tastes and everything!  After ranking them, and you can use the kids to help you by asking them, walk out talking about how and when you are going to eat it all.  Then the leader comes up and explains that in life we all rank our activities and goals.  Some of us will put our games first, others will put our activities like soccer and baseball first, still others will put their friends first in their lives.  All those things can be good things, but they do not lead to a great, fulfilling life.  The way to have a live that is fulfilling is to put God first.
