Activity
Ask the kids if the following people need to be saved?
First, only say the first half… then after a dramatic pause, and perhaps some “no’s” from the audience, add the second half! (Works great drawing it on a whiteboard too!)
1. Guy swimming in the ocean?
(no?) add a shark!
2. Girl driving in car?
(no?) add a cliff for the road to drop off!
3. Man reading book on the sidewalk?
(no?) add Piano falling from a window!
4. Kid walking to school?
(no?) add teacher w/ Pop Quiz!
5. Youth tanning on the beach?
(no?) add a tidal wave!
CREATE YOUR OWN SURPRISES
Finally
X. Kid riding bike?
(no?) add the 10 Commandments and the Book of Life or add the verse of Romans 3:23
OPTION
Draw the first half on the whiteboard… then draw the second half after your pause. The additional information changes everything! Or reveal the 1st half of a predrawn picture and then the later reveal the second half of the picture.
INTRO TO SALVATION LESSON
The Bible says that everyone needs to be saved – only most people do not realize it. They think they are “fine,” just like the man reading the book- he needs to look up and realize it isn’t just a clowdy day. People need to see the things in this world that show that there is more to it, and that they are indeed in need of being saved. (Romans 6:23)
