Source (Where I saw it): Original
Supplies: Different seat from others in the room
Preparation: Make sure to have a different kind of chair in the room from the beginning. A comfy chair would be perfect because then all the kids will want to try and sit in it.
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point: We should stand out from the world
Illustration: Ask the kids who noticed that one of the chairs in the room were different than the others. Ask them who wanted to sit in that one during service? Ask them why. Most of the answers will be things like the chair is different, or comfy, or special, etc.
Explanation of point: Explain to the boys and girls that it is easy to notice that chair b/c it is very different from the other chairs in the room. Our lives should be the same way. When you are with your friends, or in school surrounded by people do you stand out? Are you any different? Our actions, and speech should make us different. The fact that we love God and have a relationship with Him should set us a part. We should treat others with respect and let God’s love flow through us. So the question is are you different?
