Source (Where I saw it): Original
Supplies: Dollar, Dime, Candy Bar.
Preparation: None
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point: We should give God our best, not our leftovers.
Illustration: Show the dollar. Explain to them that many of the kids come in and their parent’s give them a dollar for the offering. Now maybe as they walk down the hall the see the candy machine! They hear a snickers bar calling their name with all of its chocolatey goodness, but instantly they are sad because they have no money. Wait! Yes they do! The dollar their parents gave them. The snickers bar is only 90 cents so they will still have something to but in the offering in church!
Explanation of point: The point boys and girls is that many people only give a part of themselves to God and hold certain things back. People use excuses like I can’t help with that or I don’t think God will mind if I do this thing over here. For us to truly find out and live out God’s full plan for our lives sometimes we have to sacrifice the snickers bar and give all we have to God!
