Object Lesson | Light in Darkness

Source (Where I saw it): Original

Supplies: Flashlight, 2 Leaders

Preparation: None... Maybe some practice time for the two leaders

The object lesson & how I used it...

Main Point: We are the light of the world! Matthew 5:14

Illustration: Lights go off and then, both people try to walk up to the front.  They end up walking into things and complaining about how dark it is!  They ask who turned out the lights anyway!  As they stumble around one of them notices a small flash of light.  The first one asks what was that.  The second person answers, oh that is my flashlight.  The first asks him why he has it hidden under his shirt instead of showing the way so they aren’t running into things in the dark.  The second person says, I don’t know... I can take it out if you want.  The first yells YES!
Main leader comes out and explains as they leave the room and turn the lights back on that many of us are hiding our lights.  When we ask God into our life, we have the light of the world in us!  God doesn’t want us to hide that light, but to let it shine.  God wants us to share him with our friends, families, and everyone!
