DRAMA: A free gift First boy . I have a gift I want to give to you, but you have to work for it, first you must hop on one foot. now the other foot. great you have worked for your gift. (Open the box and give him a small gift ) Second girl. I have a gift I want to give to you because you look so nice, your hear is beautiful, your dress is lovely, you deserve this gift. (Open the box and give her a small gift ) Third child. I have a gift I want to give to you, you don't have to work for it and there is nothing you can do to deserve it, I just want to give you this gift because I love you with the love of the Lord. (Open the box and give her a small gift and the banner rolled up in the box that says 'HEAVEN') DOWNLOAD HEAVEN banner (Get the children to colour this prior to the class, stick it together, roll it up and put it in the 'gift box') Heaven is a free gift • Was the first gift a free gift? NO he had to work for it. • Was the second gift a free gift? NO she had to deserve it. • Was the third gift a free gift? YES she did nothing to earn it or deserve it that is how it is with the gift of eternal life in Heaven it is not something you work for or deserve. MEMORY BIBLE VERSE: Romans 6:23"For the wages of sin is death; but the GIFT of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord " Romans 6:23
MEMORY BIBLE VERSE: Ephesians 2:8
First group "For it is by grace you have been saved" Second group " through faith-and this not from yourselves," Third group " it is the gift of God- not by works" Fourth group " so that no one can boast." Everyone shouts " Ephesians 2:8" WHAT STOPS US FROM GETTING THIS GIFT? SIN What is sin? Sin is anything we think , say , do or don't do that displeases God.
FUN ACTIVITY: LONG JUMP TO HEAVEN Have one child dressed up like Jesus ( white wrap and blue sash across his chest ) standing at the far end of the room, draw a line on the floor far enough away from him that there is NO way the children can jump and reach him. Have the children take turns trying to long jump to Jesus. They all fail because:
(Print the Jumble Verse and use it to learn the verse) Optional:DOWNLOAD Jumble Verse Visual Aid We all sin, and we cannot save ourselves. There must be a different way - 3• GOD'S WAY On one hand, God loves us and doesn't not want to punish us; but on the other hand, God is just and must punish sin.
GOSPEL IN A NUTSHELL DRAMA: (Use Visual Aids)
He lived a perfect, POWERFUL life (Double thumbs up!) He died on the cross .(Jesus holds both hands out and head sagging like He is on a cross) And rose from the dead, (Jesus lifts His hands up and steps forward from the grave victoriously) To pay the penalty for our sins and to purchase a place in Heaven for us . (Jesus lifts His hands up to Heaven praying) Jesus is in Heaven now offering us the FREE GIFT of eternal us life (Jesus reaches under the golden chair and pulls out a gift that he holds out) MEMORY BIBLE VERSE:
Optional: Ball toss game (Through ball from one child to the other shouting ONE word of John 3:16 before tosses the ball)
DISCUSSION/REVIEW: • Who can demonstrate the five finger Gospel Presentation (Use Visual aids as a reminder ) • Remember the three gift skit? Why was the third gift a free gift? (The child did nothing to earn it or deserve it that is how it is with the free gift of eternal life)
• Did any of you manage to Long Jump to Jesus? NO Why? 'All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God'
He came from Heaven to earth, He lived a perfect life . etc etc." • Who can recite John 3:16? • How do we get this gift? ( By faith ) • Can anyone show us how to use the Salvation Gift Box?
