Source (Where I saw it): Original
Supplies: A pie, a volunteer willing to be randomly pied
Preparation: None
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point: We need to choose to follow God!
Illustration: Show the kids the pie. Explain to them that a pie has a few different uses. It can look good in a window, like an advertisement, for people to see so that they will buy things from a bakery. It can be eaten, and fill you up. It also can be used to smash into someone's face! (At this point smash the pie into the predetermined and setup volunteer).
Explanation of point: The idea is that there are right ways and wrong ways to use just about anything. Although it is really funny when someone gets pied, it can't be used for its original main purpose of being eaten. It was fun in the moment but now it is destroyed. When it comes to our lives we have a choice to make. God has a main purpose for our lives that is great, but it is up to us to follow it. Sometimes bad things are fun in the moment, but they can end up destroying our lives.
