The Flip Side Lesson 2
Script
| Time: 5–10 minutes Supplies Two clear pitchers Water Food coloring Bleach Spoon Paper towels Let’s Begin Hold up the pitcher of clear water. “Last lesson we learned the difference between knowing what’s right and choosing what’s right. Today we’re going to discover why our choices matter.” Point to the clear water. “This water represents our life. God created us with the freedom to choose.” “Where has God given us instructions for making wise choices?“ *Guide the conversation toward: the Bible, prayer, the Holy Spirit, parents and trusted adults. Invite a volunteer to add the first food coloring. “This color represents the goodness that comes from following God’s plan.” Ask another volunteer to add the second color. “This color represents sin.” Let everyone observe. “When we choose our own way instead of God’s way, sin changes what God intended and every choice has a consequence.” Point to the, now, murky water Does this look like the life God lovingly planned for us? “The good news is that God knew we wouldn’t always make perfect choices. Because He loves us, He made a way to forgive us.” Slowly pour the bleach into the pitcher. Allow everyone to watch and talk about what they see. “When we repent and trust Him, He forgives our sin. and gives us a fresh start…every single time.” Wrap Up “Every wrong choice has a consequence, but that’s not the end of the story. The flip side is that because of Jesus, forgiveness is always possible.” |
So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
Galatians 5:16
