Object Lesson | Who Do You Affect?

Source (Where I saw it): Original

Supplies: Glass of water, food coloring

Preparation: Fill a glass with water

The object lesson & how I used it...

Main Point: We affect more people than we realize.

Illustration: Come to the front and show the boys and girls the glass of water.  Explain that this glass of water represents all the people you know and come in contact with.  Friends, family, neighbors, people at school, etc.  All those people you affect in some way.  Drop one small drop of food coloring in the glass.  You see boys and girls, all of us have an affect on the others around us in some way.

Explanation:  Now when we decide to go like Jesus did, we can impact people in a great way!  Drop a bunch more food coloring in and shake a little.  When we allow God to use us, and we start sharing the love that God has, we can make a huge impact in the people around us.  If everyone trusts God to use them, and we all affect the people around us, we can change the world for God.  We don’t have to do it alone!  It starts with those around us.
