Lesson: Living God’s Message
Bible Passage:
Have a Block of Wood, a Nail and a Hammer.
Tell the children that they are the Block of Wood and the nail is Jesus’ message of love to us. The hammer is…well, it’s just a hammer. Hit the nail once into the wood and have a child pull it out. See how easy it is to pull the nail out, how the message doesn’t stay? Now hit the nail repeatedly and have someone try to pull it out. The nail stays. Just like if we keep pounding away Jesus’ message for us to love and to serve, that message stays put and becomes a part of our life.
