Message in a bag

Tonight at church we tried something a little different, it was so incredibly fun. Instead of having preaching we played... a game.
So here's how it goes. There was a bag of random items and everyone in the church (who wanted to) would come up to the front and draw something out of the bag. They would then precede to "preach" a message, or really just a one-liner, to the rest of the congregation. So here I just want to share with you some of the great thoughts that came forth during our service :)

Item: Wash Cloth
Preacher: Me!
"Jesus will "wash" all your sins away!"

Item: Troll Doll
Preacher: Rebekah (My sister!)
"When the storms of life mess up your hair, God will tame the storm!"

Item: Detangling Hair Spray
Preacher: Becca Jean
"God will "detangle" the "tangles" in your life!"

Item: OFF Bug Spray
Preacher: Aaron
"Sometimes our lives are bothered by pests, they cause us to itch, swell, and become inflamed. But God will give us a covering that will keep the pest (the devil) away!!!"

Item: Glue
Preacher: Greg
"Jesus is a friend that "sticks" closer than a brother."

Item: Exercise Band
Preacher: Rachel
"You could use this as a slingshot, which God can then use to shoot you somewhere else!"
(Not sure if that one really made that much sense... but she's ten, give her a break.)

Item: Box of Crayons
Preacher: Mike (My Dad!)
"If you really want to know about all the colors of the rainbow, go back to Genesis! God created the rainbow!"

Item: Fruit Scented Bubbles
Preacher: Christina (My other sister!)
"The Spirit of God is "bubbling" in my soul! (In her best black-preacher voice)

Item: Flashlight
Preacher: Nikki
"Jesus is the light in the darkness!"

Item: Ruler
Preacher: Melanie
"God is without measure in my life!"

Item: Flute-o-phone (sp?)
Preacher: Sis. Wanda
"Jesus is the music of life. He is our song in the night!"

Item: Shower Cap
Preacher: Jessica ( my last sister!)
"When life rains on us, God covers us!"

Item: Board Game Hourglass
Preacher: My Mom!!!
"There's no time like right now to serve the Lord!"

Item: Cell Phone
Preacher: Dawn
"You can "call" on Jesus anytime!"

Item: Battery Charger
Preacher: Bro. Pitts
"Charge up with Jesus"

There were so many more who participated, I just can't remember all of them! What I do remember is that it was so fun, and there was so much laughter in the church tonight. It just goes to show that it is possible to have fun in the house of God, while still being inspired by the word of God. Also, it is important that we be instant in and out of season. That our words are always seasoned with salt... that's Biblical!
