Give a little, get a lot!
Intro: Realising that what ever you give, God always gives twice as much in
return!
Demo: Have some objects, get a few children up… exchange their ‘new, cool’
objects for your old fashioned, damaged items that are worth so little – is this
fair!?
Talk: Even though the things I was exchanging weren’t very good, and they
weren’t expensive, I was giving everything I could. God says that if we give
whatever we can and try our best, we can get the greatest prize ever – a place
with him in Heaven!
Story (could get children to act out): The poor lady and the coin Luke 21:4
Talk: That lady in the story didn’t have a lot, but Jesus loved her just the same
as the people who were giving lots and lots.
Here is a picture of the Queen, she’s one of the richest people in the entire
world – look at all her Jewels, she lives in HUGE palace and has lots of people to
look after her.
Here is a picture of a homeless person. He looks a little grubby, and hasn’t got
any money at all, he doesn’t live in a Palace like the Queen, he has to make do
with a cardboard box on the streets.
But the good thing is, is that God loves each of these people the same. If the
homeless man becomes a friend of Jesus, he can be richer than the Queen,
because he will have a placed saved in Heaven, just for him!
