Object Lesson | Building Blocks

Source (Where I saw it): Original

Supplies: A bunch of building blocks

Preparation: None

The object lesson & how I used it...

Main Point: Obedience gets easier the more you do it.

Illustration: Show the boys and girls the building blocks.  Ask them who likes to build things.  Ask what are some things you have build out of blocks or legos, etc.  Then start building a tower.  Explain that if you want to build a tall structure then you have to build the foundation right.  If not the whole thing will fall.  With each piece and support block the building will get stronger, and taller.

Explanation: Obeying God is the same way.  It may be scary at first to invite a friend to church, or tell someone about God, or to do the right thing, but the more you do it, the easy it becomes.  You it is just like the blocks.  As we allow God to take control we are letting him build courage in us, and with each fear we overcome the more we know we can trust God with everything!
