Christmas
lesson
Do you
take time to read the gift labels or do you just rip the paper off?
1. Check who it is for. To
. The gift I am talking about is for
YOU
2. Check
who it is from.
·
Adam has given us something. Given to everyone of us. SINFUL hearts.
·
God has given us something. We do not deserve it. We are not
good enough to receive it. We could never afford to buy it for ourselves.
HIS SON baby cross- risen
But not all of us accept this gift. It is only for those who repent
and trust Christ.
A play lesson
Luke 14:7
Jesus was at a party. People pushed to get the best seats. Ever do
that?
Lets play
party.
· I want you to all line up for a special treat. Maybe the
children will push to be first in line. Give them all something.
· Another one. Throw sweets into the group. Then see how
many they got. Some will get none; others a few. (give everyone some.)
Now isnt
that a bit like the people who knew Jesus?
Pride and
selfishness is sinful. It is ok to be competitive in a game but wrong
to always want to be before others, no matter what it costs.
Speak about
humility.
Hats
Which one
is a sinner?
put on a Stocking mask -what am I? someone who is very bad.
Put on a Top hat. someone who is very famous / important
Put on a mitre - someone who is very religious
Put on a crown someone who is very wealthy
Put on a cowboy hat or other foreign headdress someone from very far
away
Put on a mortar board someone who is very clever
Put on a police cap or judges wig someone who is very strict
Put on a babys hat someone who is very young
Now which
one is a sinner ??? All of them.
Then show
crown of thorns Jesus came to save sinners
Balls

Golf Ball.
Thousands are lost every day. Speak about being lost in sin. Can a golf
ball find its way back? Jesus came to seek and save the lost.
Bowl
Demonstrate a bowl down the aisle or get a child to do it (if you dare!)
A bowl will always go its own way.
Table Tennis
ball.
Demonstrate playing if possible. Show how it bounces. Then accidentally
step on it. Demonstrates perishing.
Beach ball.
Very unstable. The wind blows it. Easily influenced . Easily taken away
from where it should be.
Snooker
cue ball.
It has to knock others down to be successful. It is worth nothing but
hits all the other balls to get a good score. Selfishness is sin.
Living

Jesus came . God so loved the world that He gave
