Object Lesson:
You can’t take back what you say
2 girls
2 boys
2 paper plates
2 tubes of toothpaste
2 straws
2 knives
Object:
Before the class begins squeeze the toothpaste out of the tube on to a plate. Choose your volunteers. Give each of them a plate. On “go” they are to put the toothpaste back in the tube. The team that gets the most toothpaste back in the tube is the winning team. Blow the whistle. Check each of the tubes. Nobody got any toothpaste back in the tubes

Introduction:
-JESUS WANTS ALL OF ME.
-He doesn’t want parts of our lives.
-It’s not okay to serve God sometimes. Jesus wants us all the time.
-This week we are going to talk about how Jesus wants our words to make Him happy
Let every detail of your lives-words, actions, whatever-be done in the name of the Master, Jesus
Object Lesson:
Open the Package to Pastor Eric
You need:
Cow Tongue wrapped in a box so that it looks like it came in the mail
Michelle – Pastor Eric, I think before we go any further you should open up that package that was sent to you. I want to see what is in it so badly. Does anybody have any guesses about what could be in the box?
(Pastor Eric should read the outside of the box – The World’s Deadliest Weapon. Then carefully open it up. It’s a tongue. Show it off to the kids)
Michelle – A tongue?!? What does that have to do with the world’s deadliest weapon?
Eric - The Bible teaches us that our tongue and the words we speak with it, is a very powerful weapon. Actually our tongue can be a killer.
Bible teaches us a lot about the tongue and words we say:
(Put up over head with points)
I looked up a bunch of Bible verses this week and I found 5 things that careless words will do.
-Careless words cause destruction
-Careless words turn peace into total chaos
-Careless words ruin a person’s reputation
-Careless words kill a person’s dream
-Careless words kill a person’s confidence.
Discussion:
-We can learn a very important lesson from the game we just played.
-It is impossible to put toothpaste back in the tube. Just like it is impossible to take back words once we have spoken them.
-Once words come out of our mouth, we cannot take them back. It is too late.
Conclusion:
-We are defined by the words we speak.
-The Bible says that if your words are perfect and true, then you are a perfect person.
-Jesus wants us to try and be a perfect person.
