Take it to the Next Level
- We can become an image or reflection of Christ if we allow him to mold us.
- We can become vessels to be used by God if we allow him to work through us and mold us.
- Use it for a lesson on peer pressure and discuss how we conform to the expectations of others instead of being ourselves.
Anytime Teaching Idea
Foil can be used to play a pictionary like game with keywords from a lesson. Instead of drawing out the words, Youth are asked to represent the word using foil. Divide into teams and give each team a roll of foil and words they must mold and get their teams to guess.
