Object Lesson | Balloon Won't Pop!

Source (Where I saw it): Original

Supplies: Balloon, pin, vaseline.

Preparation: Blow up the balloon and on the top part rub a small amount of vaseline (What this does is when you put the pin in the balloon it creates a seal and won’t pop or deflate).

The object lesson & how I used it...

Main Point: God is powerful!

Illustration: Come to the front and show the boys and girls the balloon and the pin. Ask them what would happen if I poked this balloon with the pin. It will pop that’s correct. Now it would be basically impossible for the balloon to survive the pointiness of this pin. (Now push the pin into the balloon where the vaseline is, don’t get too close to the kids with this one just in case they can pick up on the vaseline.) The balloon didn’t pop!

Explanation: What seemed impossible happened. In our lives we may come across situations where we think its impossible. Maybe the situation is something like someone we care about gets sick, or we can’t figure out something in school, or we are having a hard time making friends and feel alone. There are a lot of other situations that can feel impossible to end, but we can turn to God. God is more powerful than anyone or anything and can make the impossible happen. God can help us with our situations and wants to help. He can and wants to help us, all we have to do is go to Him and pray!
