2 The Most Important Thing You'll Ever Do
1.Decide to live for Jesus
2.Tell others about Jesus
Object Lesson:
Discussion: (Take one candy out of the bag) This candy represents the very first kid who came to Kids Club years ago and learned that they must decide to live for Jesus. After they got home they went and told their friend (Take another candy out). Now there were 2 kids. They went and each told a friend. The next week there were 4 kids. These 4 kids came to church and learned about Jesus. They got excited. They each told a friend. The next week there were 8 kids. Those 8 kids all went and told a friend. The next week there were 16 kids. Those 16 kids learned about Jesus and had lots of fun. They couldn't wait to invite their friends. The next week there were 32 kids. Now if 32 kids all go and tell a friend to come to Kidz Club - the next week there would be 64 kids. Now if 64 kids came to kidz club - had fun and decided to live for Jesus. Then the next week they all brought a friend because they knew how important it was for their friend to be there. There would be 128 kids at Kidz Club.
Conclusion: Boys and girls you might not think you can go into all the world and preach the Gospel, but you can go into your world. Miss Michelle can make sure you have fun, there's lots of candy, and teach the 4 Most Important things- but you need to do your job too!!!! You need to go to your world - your friends, your family, your peers and invite them to church and kidz Club. You see, their life is on the line. What will happen to your friends if you don't invite them to church?
