Source (Where I saw it): Original
Supplies: A piece of fruit, board, screws, and other random items
Preparation: Gather supplies
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point: We need to go to God!
Illustration: Walk up to the front explaining that you have a big job to complete. You have to screw these screws into this board! So you put the materials down and then you go through your tools (Have some random items as “tools”). Then you say you know which tool to use! It’s the piece of fruit. At this point the kids will be saying no, you are wrong! You then try to screw the screws in with the piece of fruit. Of course this doesn’t work. Now ask the kids what should you have used? Then explain that there are a lot of people that say they have faith in God, but then never go to him. We say we trust him, but then never give our lives fully over to him. If we really have faith in God, then in every situation we have to trust he has our best interests at heart and jump in!
