The Day of Salvation is NOW - The Now and Later Lesson #Kidmin



The Main Point:

Now and Later - The Day of Salvation is NOW

The Object Lesson:

The Salvation Choice



Memory Verse:

2 Corinthians 6:2

English Standard Version (ESV)

For he says,
“In a favorable time I listened to you,
    and in a day of salvation I have helped you.”
Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
Bible Lesson:

The Rich King and Lazarus the beggar (Luke 16:19-31)
In this story we learn of a rich man who had all one could ask for in life, and also of a beggar who lived at the rich man's gates who could only hope for even just the crumbs from the rich man's table.  They both died and the Rich man begs for comfort and more importantly he begs for a warning to be given to his brothers about what their choices can gain them after they die.  
We do not have a luxury of Now and Later when it comes to salvation and we see this as we read this story as well as the memory verse (2 Cor. 6:2) and must understand we have to slow down and evaluate NOW when it comes to salvation!

We Can Be Brand New - The Mentos Lesson #Kidmin




The Main Point:

 Mentos - The Freshmaker (Being Born New)

The Object Lesson:

Mentos and Soda

You can see a video of us doing this here

When mentos enter a soda it is spectacular.  All watching before are bored and ignoring the bottle while it sits and does nothing, but as it explodes from the candies being added everyone is in awe of the difference. 

God entering our lives is the same.

Memory Verse:

Corinthians 5:17

English Standard Version (ESV)
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
Bible Lesson:

Nicodemus (John 3)

We read about a man who had high standings in the Israelite community who wished to see Jesus.  He did so in the cover of night to learn more.  Jesus explained how he needed to be 'Born again' in order to understand... to be saved.  This did not mean to be again born from your mommy, but instead Jesus mean spiritually we all need to be born again.  We need to die to the old sinful things of our past and look forward to the righteous things He has for us instead!
