Object Lesson | Accepting Money

Source (Where I saw it): Original

Supplies: Some coins, a few dollars

Preparation: None.

The object lesson & how I used it...

Main Point: God loves, accepts, and wants all of us.

Illustration: Ask the kids if they have ever paid for something at the store. Now ask them how do people pay at the store for their items, like what kind of things do they use. That’s right, some people pay with cash, some people pay with a check or a bank card. There are all sorts of ways to pay. Now lets say that I decide to pay with cash. Does it matter if I use pennies, nickels, quarters, dollars, etc? Of course not, because money is money. It may be different, and have different characteristics, but it is all worth something.

Explanation: You see boys and girls, it is the same with us! God values and loves each of us. We all may have different characteristics, talents, and we may act differently, but God loves us all just the same! God sent His son, Jesus to save all of us!

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!
