Object Lesson: Gloves – the Hand of God at Work Within UsKen Sapp
Finding one's identity, purpose, and meaning in life are common struggles that every youth faces. They are seeking an answer to the question, Why am I here? In their search for purpose, they may try to find fulfillment in a variety of things, some good, some bad. But our purpose cannot be found in things. Our identity is found by filling the emptiness in our lives with Christ. When God's Hand is at work in our lives, only then will we find true meaning and purpose. Gloves are a great object lesson to remind youth of this spiritual truth and a simplified version of this lesson makes a great Children's Sermon.

Gary Vaynerchuk talks about Content & Social MediaKen Sapp
Great talk and Q&A from Gary Vaynerchuk at National Achiever's Congress 2019 in Singapore... Lots of takeaways but these are powerful: "Eliminate friction between your message and your customer" and "The INTENT of content is the VARIABLE of Success." So does your message create friction? What is the intent of your content? Are you real and adding value or is your content just an "ask" wrapped in content?

Thanksgiving Party Activity - Looking BackKen Sapp
Thanksgiving is an American Holiday where people set aside a day to remember what God has done for them over the past one year and praise Him and give Him thanks for the works He has done in their lives. This game plays on the idea of looking forward yet being able to recognize and picture what is behind. It serves as a metaphor for us, also looking forward to the future, but taking some time to picture and recognize what God has done in the past."
Although gummy bears were invented by German Candy maker Hans Reigel in 1922, the gummy worm is a relatively recent concept. The Gummy bear wasn’t shipped to America until around 1981 and then an American candy company extended the idea to gummy worms to give kids something fun to eat and to shock their parents. Gummy worms are one of the most popular gummy candies around. Use these games with gummy worms as an object lesson to talk about Jesus’ call to his disciples to become fishers of men.
Even if you don’t want to be involved with Halloween, you’ll want to grab at least one of those plastic or paper Halloween skeletons for this object lesson / game.
Halloween Party Activity - Pumpkin PicassoKen Sapp
How well can you draw the Halloween Jack-o-Lantern? Here is a great youth game idea for the Halloween season. You can use it to bring a fresh spiritual meaning to the holiday and allow your youth to apply it to seeking God’s plan and direction for their lives. You could even relate it to a talk about not conforming to the patterns of the world. Be creative and have a great week! And for those completely adverse to anything associated with Halloween, see the alternative variation under the “preparation” section.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Christian Object Lesson - Coat Hangers
1. Christian
Object Lesson -
Coat Hangers
Use this object lesson /
children’s sermon as a
lesson on how Jesus
doesn’t just cover up
our sin, but removes
our sin.

Preparation
Using a typical metal coat
hanger as a guide,
carefully form one from
the solder. The solder will
be soft so you must be
gentle to avoid distorting
the shape prematurely.
Add it to your stach of
clothes hangers. You may
wish to use a variety of
clothes hangers just to
hide the fact that one is
different.

• As the group provides
ways we cover sin you
label each bundle. You’ll
want ideas like: Go to
church, Be good, Not hurt
people, Prayer, Lie,
Pretend it didn’t happen,
do something good to
make up for it, blame it on
someone, give an excuse
for it, etc. After you write
on the clothes hanger,
return it to the participant.

• Take out your “special”
coat hanger made from
solder, wrap it in red paper
like you wrapped the
others.
• Explain that the red paper
represents Jesus’ atoning
blood (older children).
Note: The concept of blood
sacrifice is difficult for
young children to grasp but
“Jesus’ forgiveness” is a
suitable alternative.
8. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com

• explain that even though
the coat hangers are
covered you can still *see*
them, they are not gone.
• Have everyone feel their
bundle and the coat
hangers (sins) are still
there.
• Squeeze your bundle up
into a little ball….Jesus can
make it go away (remove /
forgive your sin.)
