What is a children’s sermon object lesson?
The children’s sermon is a brief lesson for kids during the adult church worship service. These typically feature an object lesson to illustrate a Bible theme or passage.Often, the presenter will ask open-ended questions while the congregation enjoys their frequently humors responses. In many churches, the children are invited to gather at the front of the sanctuary and then dismissed to age-specific classes. The even is sometimes called a children’s message or ministry moment.
A children’s sermon object lesson is a way to teach a Bible story or spiritual concept in a way that’s fun, interactive, and memorable for kids. Here’s how it works:
1. The Object:
- Simple and Familiar: Choose an ordinary object that children will recognize (a ball, a glass of water, a flashlight, etc.).
- Relatable to the Message: The object should have qualities or symbolism that connect to the message you want to teach.
2. The Story:
- Biblical Foundation: Select a Bible story or a specific Biblical principle.
- Engage the Object: Demonstrate how the object represents an idea from the story or illustrates the principle you’re explaining.
3. The Lesson:
- Clear and Concise: Explain the connection between the object and the Bible message in a way that children can understand.
- Make it Personal: Help children apply the lesson to their own lives in practical ways.
Here’s a simple example:
- Object: A mirror
- Bible Story/Principle: We are to reflect God’s love to others. (James 1:22-25)
- Demonstration: Hold up the mirror and talk about how it reflects what’s in front of it. Ask the children what we should be reflecting if we are God’s children.
- Lesson: Explain that just as a mirror reflects light, we are to reflect God’s love, kindness, and goodness outwards to others.
Why object lessons are great for kids:
- Hands-on: Kids learn by doing, and object lessons make the message tangible.
- Visual: It creates an image to associate with the concept, helping it stick in their memory.
- Engaging: Kids are naturally curious; using an ordinary object in a surprising way sparks their interest.
