Supplies: A bunch of candy.
Preparation: None.
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point: We need to give what we have!
Illustration: Come to the front and show the boys and girls all the candy you have. Ask them who likes candy. Explain that with all the candy that you have there is no way you could eat it all. You would get sick! So instead of getting sick you thought it would be good to share it with others.
Explanation: In the same way we need to share what God has done for us with other people. God’s love and salvation is way to big for just one person. God wants everyone to experience His love! It would be selfish of us not to share it with all those around us. That’s how we become a witness, by sharing what God has done for us with others!

Object Lesson | Light in Darkness
Source (Where I saw it): Original
Supplies: Flashlight, 2 Leaders
Preparation: None... Maybe some practice time for the two leaders
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point: We are the light of the world! Matthew 5:14
Illustration: Lights go off and then, both people try to walk up to the front. They end up walking into things and complaining about how dark it is! They ask who turned out the lights anyway! As they stumble around one of them notices a small flash of light. The first one asks what was that. The second person answers, oh that is my flashlight. The first asks him why he has it hidden under his shirt instead of showing the way so they aren’t running into things in the dark. The second person says, I don’t know... I can take it out if you want. The first yells YES!
Main leader comes out and explains as they leave the room and turn the lights back on that many of us are hiding our lights. When we ask God into our life, we have the light of the world in us! God doesn’t want us to hide that light, but to let it shine. God wants us to share him with our friends, families, and everyone!

Object Lesson | Keep It All
Source (Where I saw it): Original
Supplies: Lots of Candy or some other item
Preparation: None
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point: We need to share our relationship with God with everyone!
Illustration: Walk up and talk about all the lovely items you have. Explain that someone gave you a lifetime supply and you have sooooooo much of it that you have no idea what to do with it. Tell the kids you have been eating it all day and all night and still can’t get through it. Then ask the children if they would like some. When they say yes, act like you are going to give it to them but then don’t. Explain that you need it all for yourself. Isn’t that fair? Now Explain: You see boys and girls it isn’t fair that I would keep all this candy that was given to me. In fact it is the opposite! It is very selfish of me to keep it all. Hand a few pieces out. It always feels better to give to people. Boys and girls, God gave us a gift. He gave his son to die on the cross for us. That is how we can have God as our best friend. Jesus told us to share that with everyone around us, and when we don’t its like keeping all the candy for ourself.

Object Lesson | Salt In Everything!
Source (Where I saw it): Original
Supplies: Salt and various foods
Preparation: Have the various foods out on a plate.
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point: People should know we love God!
Illustration: Have various foods out on a plate and explain to the kids about salt. Salt has a very powerful taste. When used correctly, salt helps food taste better. It also is used to make food last longer. The biggest thing about salt is that when it is still good you can taste it on anything it gets on. Pour it on the different foods. You can let the a child or leader taste each food. Then explain: Even if you shake it off the salt has made an impact on it. There is no way for it not to be impacted by the salt. Jesus called us salt because our life should affected other people all around us. If we lose our saltiness, then aren’t doing what God wants us to do.
