Object Lesson

Title: Be Brave: Learning Courage through Christ

Audience: Young Children (ages 4-7)

Objective: To teach children that through Christ, they can conquer their fears and be brave.

Props:
– A toy sailboat
– A small plastic figurine (such as a Lego person or small action figure)
– A bowl of water
– A picture of Jesus calming the storm
– A Bible

Presentation:
1. Begin by asking the children if any of them have ever been afraid of something. Allow them to share their experiences and feelings.
2. Show the children a toy sailboat and explain that just like the boat, we can sometimes feel small and powerless in the face of our fears.
3. Bring out the small plastic figurine and place it in the boat. Explain that just as the figurine is in the boat, God is always with us, even when we feel scared and alone.
4. Fill a bowl with water and ask the children what might happen if the boat were placed in the water. Allow them to make predictions and observations as you place the boat in the bowl.
5. Use a picture of Jesus calming the storm to demonstrate to the children that just as Jesus calmed the storm and protected his disciples, he can also calm our fears and protect us.
6. Finally, read a relevant Bible passage (e.g. Psalm 56:3 – “When I am afraid, I will trust in you.”) and encourage the children to repeat it together.

Conclusion:
Remind the children that no matter what fears they may face, they can be brave because God is always with them. Encourage them to trust in him and to pray for courage whenever they feel afraid.
