Shaky Foundation

We need to build our lives on the solid foundation God provides. 

TOPICS: Behavior, Following God, Obedience, Pleasing God MATERIALS: Blocks Card Table DURATION: Approximately 10 minutes

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

Set up the card table in front of the class and start building a tower using the blocks you brought to class. As you build the tower explain to the children how important it is to have a strong foundation or base for the tower. A wobbly or shaky foundation will cause our tower to tip over easily, especially as the tower gets taller. (Bump the table at this time so that the tower falls over) Rebuild the tower on the floor and explain why this is a much stronger foundation than the shaky card table.

Inform the children that we need to do the same thing with our lives, we must build our lives on a solid foundation to keep us from toppling over as we grow up. God gives us the Bible, which is the best foundation on which to build our lives. If we listen to God and obey His rules, we will have a much better life.
