Object Lesson | Building Blocks

Source (Where I saw it): Original

Supplies:  Set of building blocks

Preparation: None

The object lesson & how I used it...

Main Point: Believing that God exists is a major part of the foundation of being a Christian.

Illustration:  Show the kids the building blocks, and start building a pyramid with them.  Explain to the boys and girls how every building has a support structure, a foundation, and without it no building could stand.  Even this little structure I’m building would be useless without the bottom blocks.  Pull out one of the bottom blocks and have the whole thing fall.

Explanation of point: You see boys and girls the foundation and support structure are critical!  Even in the building we are in now, if the foundation broke we would all be in big trouble.  In our lives, one of the basic foundation and structure points is our belief that God exists.  You can’t hope to live a life for Him if you aren’t sure about Him even existing.  Now we all doubt sometimes, and that’s ok, but deep down you must decide to trust in God.
