Discussion:

Introduction:
-Saying you are a Christian and not acting like one is useless.
-If we are going to say we are a Christian then we must "Walk, talk and live like Jesus."
-What are ways that we can show others that we are a Christian?

Experiment:
-In some situations it may seem impossible for us to act like a Christian.
-Who can name a situation?
-I thought for some of you it might be really hard to act like a Christian when you go back to school.
-Some of our friends put a lot of bad pressure on us that make it hard to act like a Christian.
-Today I wanted to do a science experiment with you that may seem impossible
-Today I am going to inflate this balloon without using my mouth. Who thinks that is impossible?
-Anybody have any ideas how I could do this?
-One time on TV, I saw a little girl blow up a balloon with her nose, but I am not going to do that today.

Ahead of time put a tablespoon or so of baking soda in a balloon. Fill a plastic soda bottle about a quarter of the way full of vinegar.

In class, attach the balloon to the top of the soda bottle and allow the baking soda to drop in the vinegar. The balloon will slowly begin to inflate.

Conclusion: Sometimes it may seem impossible or really difficult to do the right thing, but always remember that it is never impossible to Walk, Talk and Live like Jesus

There were lots of people in the Bible faced with having to live the way God wanted them, which meant going against their friends or other leaders.
