First Baptist Church of East Aurora

KID KONNECT Drama

We used this in connection with a message on II Pt 1:5-11.

Pastor: Well, kids, today we are going to skip the Bible lesson and just do something fun. Here is a picture of the world’s tallest Lego tower. It is 100 feet high. We are going to build one higher than that. I have brought in the things to build it with. I’m going to split you up in teams and each team will build their section then we will put them together to build the highest Lego tower.

Split into Teams.

Pastor: While I pass out the building tools to everyone I am going to ask Terry Allen to come up and help us. I feel it is better to have someone watching and reading out the instructions. Unfortunately I couldn’t find any instructions so I’m just going to have him read the Scripture Reading for today’s message. That’s ok, isn’t it? It will work just the same right?

OK, open your bags and start building. The team that reaches one hundred and one feet first wins

Kayla: Hey, these aren’t Legos. They’re balloons. You can’t build with a bunch of balloons that aren’t blown up.

Pastor: I ran out of money to buy Legos but I don’t think it matters what we build on or with. In fact, let me prove it. Terry will you read vs. 1 of First Peter.

Terry: To those who have obtained a like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ.

Pastor: See all you need is faith. All the building blocks don’t have to be Legos.

Terry: Pastor, Peter said the faith was like his. So, I do think what we have our faith in matters.

Pastor: I don’t think it matters what kind of faith we have. There are lots of people who don’t believe that Jesus is the savior or that he’s God and they still call themselves churches, right? Many people live terrible lives and say they’re Christians. So it doesn’t matter if there are really Legos in the bags as long as I call them Legos. Let’s see what other kinds of Legos we have in the bags.

Christie: We have a bag full of change. These are not Legos. And from what Terry said, we should have things that are alike in order to build the world’s tallest Lego tower.

Paulie: Hey, I have Legos but these are all broken ones. We can’t build with broken pieces of Lego. Pastor, this is not going to work. Not at all.

Ryan: My team has round green stones. You can’t build with these. This is stupid. I can’t even pretend these are Legos.

Pastor: I know nothing is alike. Maybe if we put a broken piece of Lego down first then a flat balloon with a dime on it and then something else, we can still get to 101 feet. But let’s have Terry read vss 5-11 to us and maybe we can find a way to make it work.

Terry: 2 Peter 1:5-11  ⁵ But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, ⁶ to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, ⁷ to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. ⁸ For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.
¹⁰ Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; ¹¹ for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Shane: I think I know what to do. I think we are supposed to be building with the things the Bible tells us and not with all this stupid stuff. I think I’m going back to my seat because these things just won’t work.

Pastor: Are you saying that if we want to build we need real Legos and we have to do it in the right way.

Kids: You got it, Pastor.

Pastor: How about me opening up the golden box?

As you can see or figured out. The kids all knew what was going on. We wanted to show that it was necessary to build with the right things. Terry just told us what those right things are and this morning will be about those building blocks for the Christian life.
