Source (Where I saw it): Original
Supplies: A fan, and a pile of torn up paper
Preparation: Have the fan plugged in or have batteries in it, and have it sitting across a table with a pile of ripped up paper.
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point: Just because we can't see God with our eyes, doesn't mean we can't see the effects of God in our lives.
Illustration: Come to the front and show the kids the paper, and the fan. Now turn on the fan and have the paper fly all over the room. Ask the kids how the paper moved? That’s right the fan blew them in the air, but how did that happen? I didn’t see the fan walk over, pick up, and throw the paper all around.
Explanation of point: You see boys and girls the fan created wind. We can’t see the wind, but we know it exists because it pushed the paper all over. It’s the same with God! We may not be able to see God, but we can see all the things He does for us.

Object Lesson | Building Blocks
Source (Where I saw it): Original
Supplies: Set of building blocks
Preparation: None
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point: Believing that God exists is a major part of the foundation of being a Christian.
Illustration: Show the kids the building blocks, and start building a pyramid with them. Explain to the boys and girls how every building has a support structure, a foundation, and without it no building could stand. Even this little structure I’m building would be useless without the bottom blocks. Pull out one of the bottom blocks and have the whole thing fall.
Explanation of point: You see boys and girls the foundation and support structure are critical! Even in the building we are in now, if the foundation broke we would all be in big trouble. In our lives, one of the basic foundation and structure points is our belief that God exists. You can’t hope to live a life for Him if you aren’t sure about Him even existing. Now we all doubt sometimes, and that’s ok, but deep down you must decide to trust in God.

Object Lesson | Dollar
Source (Where I saw it): PleaseConvinceMe.com
Supplies: A Dollar and something to put it in
Preparation: None
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point - We need not look any further then ourselves for proof that God exists!
Illustration: Show the kids the dollar. Explain to them how detailed the dollar is and all the information it contains. It is an incredible piece of paper! Now ask them how the dollar got into the object. That’s right someone had to put it in there!
Explanation of point: You see boys and girls the dollar didn’t just create it self and then jump into the object. When we have doubts about whether God exists or not, we don’t need to look any further than ourselves for proof that He does. Look at how detailed we were made. How amazing it is that we can breathe without thinking about it. God made us and has a plan for us!
