Object Lesson | Sand Mix

Source (Where I saw it): Original

Supplies: Different color craft sand and a see through (glass or clear plastic) bowl.

Preparation: None.

The object lesson & how I used it...

Main Point: God is always with us.

Illustration: Come to the front and show the boys and girls the sand. Ask them how many have ever made anything with these different color sands before. You can make all sorts of different things with the craft sand. Now once you mix the different colors can you separate them and start over (At this point actually mix the two colors into the bowl)? No! It would be almost impossible to fully separate the sand.

Explanation: It is the same way with us and God. Once we give our hearts to God, there is no separating us from Him. God will never leave us, and will always be there to help us. God sticks with us no matter what. It is why we don’t need to be afraid and can always know we can count on God even if other people let us down.

Object Lesson | Separate Water

Source (Where I saw it): Original

Supplies: Water, Food Coloring, Salt

Preparation: None

The object lesson & how I used it...

Main Point: Nothing can separate us from God's love!

Illustration: Show the kids the water and ask them what color it is.  Now add in food coloring to change the color of the water.  Notice the color change.  Now add salt.  Now not only does the water look different, but it tastes different.

Explanation of point: Boys and girls, it would be almost impossible to separate everything I just put in here back into the original water.  In the same way, God’s love can never be separated from us.  He loves us sooooooo much!
