Supplies: Scissors.
Preparation: None.
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point: We should obey God!
Illustration: Come to the front and show the boys and girls the scissors. Ask how many of them have ever used scissors before? Who knows what our parents, teachers, pastors, and just about every adult always tell us about scissors? What are we not supposed to do with them? That’s right, we are not supposed to run with scissors. Why is that though? I mean what if your mom really needs some scissors in a hurry, so run to the drawer they are in and then you run to give them to her. Doesn’t that make it ok? Why shouldn’t we run with scissors? You can then take some answers, and then explain that we don’t run with scissors because it can seriously hurt us. Even though it may seem like a faster and easier choice sometimes, ultimately running with scissors is a seriously bad idea!
Explanation: It is the same with our choices in a lot of our life. Sometimes some choices may seem like a good idea and maybe even fun it may end up hurting us in the long run. That’s why we should always check with God. When we look for God’s plan for our life through reading the Bible, and praying, we can find the absolute best choices for our life!

Object Lesson | Building Blocks
Source (Where I saw it): Original
Supplies: A bunch of building blocks
Preparation: None
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point: Obedience gets easier the more you do it.
Illustration: Show the boys and girls the building blocks. Ask them who likes to build things. Ask what are some things you have build out of blocks or legos, etc. Then start building a tower. Explain that if you want to build a tall structure then you have to build the foundation right. If not the whole thing will fall. With each piece and support block the building will get stronger, and taller.
Explanation: Obeying God is the same way. It may be scary at first to invite a friend to church, or tell someone about God, or to do the right thing, but the more you do it, the easy it becomes. You it is just like the blocks. As we allow God to take control we are letting him build courage in us, and with each fear we overcome the more we know we can trust God with everything!
