Source (Where I saw it): Original
Supplies: Some lollipops
Preparation: None
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point: Don’t wait to act!
Illustration: Walk up to the front and ask the kids if they like lollipops. Then go in front of a few kids and offer the lollipop, but just as they reach out pull it away. Do this a few times, and then let someone grab it. One or two kids may try to tackle it out of your hands which can end up being good for the explanation.
Explanation: You see boys and girls, I wanted someone to act, and to act now! The kids that acted got a lollipop. Some of you even tried to tackle me for the sugary goodness! Can you imagine if we all jumped all over the opportunities God placed in our lives like that! How many amazing things could we do if we trusted God!? Too many times we hesitate when we hear God tell us to be nice to someone, or to invite someone to church, or to help someone, etc. We could be missing out on an amazing opportunity for God to use us to make a huge impact!
