Object Lesson: God is All Powerful

Here’s a fun object lesson to demonstrate something with a lot of power! This can be a great large group intro to a discussion for talking about God’s power. (Note: You’ll probably want to do this one outside – it’s messy!!)

Materials:

  • A pack of Mentos candy
  • A 2 liter bottle of Diet Coke (must be Diet)

Discussion starters for small groups:

  • What did you think/feel when you saw that powerful explosion?
  • What are some other examples of power you’ve seen?
  • What’s the most powerful thing or person in the world?
  • What does it mean that God is All-Powerful? Do you believe that?
  • How did God show his power in stories in the Bible?
  • How does God show his power today?
  • How do you need God’s power right now?
