Introduction:
The Most Important thing we could ever do is to live our lives for Jesus. Now when we decide to live for Jesus there are some very important things we need to do. I thought we could compare some of these things to a sandwich.
1. What is the first thing you need for a Sandwich? Bread
The bread reminds me of our communication with God.
We communicate with God by praying.
A lot of people say they have a hard time praying-they don’t know what to say.
Who likes talking on the phone?
Talking to God is like talking on the phone – explain.
If we don’t have bread for our sandwich – we don’t have a sandwich – we have a salad.
If we don’t have prayer in our Christian life – we don’t have a relationship with Jesus-we have religion,
2. What is the first thing you do to the bread? Put your topping on – butter, mustard, mayo
Putting these topping on reminds me of the first thing we must do ---
Decide to live for Jesus.
You can’t put the topping on later. You need to put them on now.
You need to decide to live for Jesus now!!!
3. What do most people put on their sandwich next? Meat
The main ingredient in most sandwiches is the meat.
The main ingredient in our Christian life should be God’s Word.
The Bible says that if we love Jesus we will obey Him.
A sandwich without meat – isn’t a very good sandwich
A Christian without God’s Word – is a weak Christian
4. What else can we put on a sandwich? Cheese
The cheese reminds me of the Holy Spirit.
Cheese helps the meat make a good sandwich.
You see before Jesus left the earth and went to heaven, He promised to give us a helper.
That Helper is the Holy Spirit. He lives inside of us and He helps us every day to live the way Jesus wants us to.
5. What else can you put on a sandwich? Lettuce, tomato, onion
These toppings top off the sandwich. They add health and flavor to the sandwich.
As a healthy Christian there is one more thing we need to do – Be a witness.
We need to tell others about Jesus with our words and actions.
Conclusion:
Raise your hand here if you have decided to live for Jesus.
Now I want you to close your eyes and think about your life for a minute.
Do you have all 5 of these ingredients that we just talked about in your life?
1. Do you communicate with God
2. Have you decided to live for Jesus
3. Do your read your Bible
4. Do you rely on the Holy Spirit to help you each day?
5. Are you a good witness? Do you tell others about Jesus with your words and actions?
Boys and girls, if you couldn’t say that you have all the ingredients in your life, I want to challenge you today to add the one that is missing. I can’t do it for you. You have to do it yourself. All of the Kidz Club leaders are here to talk to you and help you with this.
