Life is a Journey- Not an Obstacle!This lesson is different than any 'obstacle course' object lesson, but it has a great point. Often times in life, we place obstacles in our way that really don't need to be there. Such obstacles include our own weaknesses, sins, pride, grudges, drama, stress, envy- you name it! Other 'obstacles' might really not be...

I then remind the volunteer of...

After reading hand a piece of paper to each of the students and say to the class that you now want to test their faith, then tell them that they have to make a hole with the piece of paper big enough to fit themselves through it!

Measure your Christlike loveStart out by asking who has the longest hair, longest fingernails, highest heel, heaviest church bag, etc. Measure or weigh the items.
