Object Lesson | Craft Sand

Source (Where I saw it): Based off of Christian Crafters

Supplies: Two water glasses, two bouncy balls, craft sand

Preparation: None

The object lesson & how I used it...

Main Point: God needs to be our #1

Illustration: Show the kids the first bouncy ball.  Tell them how important it is to put God first in your life.  When we put God first then all our choices, and our whole life can be covered by God.  At this point put the bouncy ball in one of the water glasses and then pour in the craft sand.  The sand will completely cover the ball.  Then explain how if you don’t put God first in your life, you won’t be completely covered by God’s grace, mercy, and love.  This time pour the craft sand in the second glass first, and then drop the bouncy ball on top.  When it comes to living the most fulfilling life, God needs to come first.  It is your decisions on the life you lead.  If you put everything else before God, then there is little room to hear God in your life.
