80 Biblically Based Children's Sermons
Object:
A piece of material and a threaded needle.
As the children gather on the steps of the chancel area in the sanctuary, I pull a piece of red-and-white striped cloth out of my pocket. "What have I brought with me today?" I ask them.
"A piece of material," Deborah replies.
"A piece of material," I repeat as I take one end of it in each hand. I had, prior to the start of worship, cut a tiny slit in one edge of the material to facilitate my forthcoming demonstration.
"What do you suppose will happen if I pull too hard on the ends of this piece of cloth?" I ask.
