Title: The Value of Hard Work: Honoring God with Our Efforts

Introduction:
Hey little ones, have you ever wondered why your parents and teachers always tell you to work hard? Today we are going to talk about the reason behind why we should work hard and how we can honor God with our efforts.

Bible Verse:
Colossians 3:23 says, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.”

Explanation:
God has called us to work hard, no matter what we do. When we work hard, we honor God with the gifts He has given us. It doesn’t matter if we are playing or learning, doing chores, or playing sports; we should always do it to the best of our abilities, just the way God intended us to.

Example:
When a chef makes a dish, he puts all his heart and effort into it to make it taste delicious so that others can enjoy it. Similarly, when we put all our efforts and hard work into our tasks, people around us benefit from it, and it honors God.

Conclusion:
Let’s always remember to put our entire heart and effort into whatever we do and honor God with our work. So, the next time someone asks you to do something, do it with a smile and give it your best, knowing that you are working for God. Let’s pray now and ask God to help us work hard and honor Him with our efforts.

Object Lesson

Props:
– A small plant in a pot
– A watering can
– A bag of soil/potting mix
– A small tool like a trowel or spade

How to present the illustration:
1. Introduce the topic of working for God by asking the children if they think it’s important to work hard in everything they do, whether it’s schoolwork, chores, or even playtime. Explain that when we work hard, we are honoring God with our efforts.
2. Hold up the plant and ask the children if they know how plants grow. Briefly explain that plants need soil, water, and sunshine to grow healthy and strong.
3. Bring out the bag of soil/potting mix and explain that this is like our own efforts – if we don’t put in the work, we won’t see any growth or progress in our lives. Show how you use the tool to add soil to the pot.
4. Bring out the watering can and explain that water is like God’s blessings – when we work hard and honor Him, He blesses our efforts and helps us grow. Water the plant and talk about the importance of patience and consistency in caring for it.
5. Ask the children how they can work hard and honor God in their own lives. Encourage them to think of specific examples like studying hard for a test or helping a neighbor with their chores.

Explanation:
This illustration teaches children the importance of hard work and how it honors God. The plant represents our own personal growth, and how we need to put in effort (adding soil) in order to see progress. God’s blessings are like water, and when we honor Him with our efforts, He helps us grow and thrive. This is an interactive and relatable way to teach young children about the value of hard work and how it relates to their relationship with God.
