Object Lesson | Computer Monitor

Source (Where I saw it): Original

Supplies: A monitor, or picture of a monitor

Preparation - None

The object lesson & how I used it...

Main Point: Our life should display God!

Illustration: Show the kids the monitor.  Ask who has ever seen one of these before?  Who knows what it does?  That's right it is a computer monitor.  A monitor only works when it is hooked up to a computer.  It will have no image and stay blank or in a test mode.  It is up to the computer and what the computer is putting out as to what will show up on the monitor.

Explanation of point: The question is what would your life look like if it had a monitor hooked up to it?  Would it display God's love, joy, peace, etc?  We should live our life in a way that when people look at as they can see that we are different in how we treat others.  Our life should put God on display!

Object Lesson | Apple Cutter

Source (Where I saw it): Original

Supplies: An apple slicer

Preparation: None

The object lesson & how I used it...

Main Point: Apple slicer has a purpose, and so do we.

Illustration: Show the apple cutter.  Explain that the apple cutter has a purpose, it is made to cut up and apple nicely so we can eat it.  But if it was just left in the drawer of the kitchen and never used, then the apple cutter would be useless, it wasn’t being used.  We were created for a purpose.  One purpose we have is to show others the love that God has for them, and if we never tell anyone it is like keeping this apple cutter in the kitchen drawer.  We need to let our light shine.
