The Power of One (Domino Effect)

Wake up! Strengthen what is left, or it will die. You have not done all that my God wants you to do. Revelation 3:2

 Props: set of dominos

 Stand up the dominos and arrange them in an “s” shape.  Be sure to place them close enough together that the entire line will fall when the first domino is pushed down. 

 If you’re going to wake up and answer God’s call, you must realize how important His call to you is.  God has called you to do something important and very special.  You will all do something a little bit different for God, but each one of you is called to tell others about God’s love.  Let me show you how important God’s call to share His love with others really is.

Each of these dominos is going to represent a person.  The first person in line is the person who told you about God’s love.  They connected with you and told you about Jesus, and you received His love.  (Push over first domino and let it touch the second, but hold the second domino upright).  Now you have a decision to make.  You can keep hold God’s love here or you can pass it along. 

God has called you to pass along His love.  It isn’t always easy, but it’s one of God’s commands.  Besides, God’s love is too wonderful to keep to yourself.  So you wake up and answer God’s call.  You start by telling one friend about how Jesus came to take the punishment for our sins, how he died and came back to life and how he lives and wants to give us life forever.  It doesn’t seem like much, does it…just telling one friend.  But watch what happens—that friend tells another, who tells another and it just keeps going.  (Push the next domino and allow the entire line to fall).  Before you know it, all these people have heard about Jesus. 

Hey!  This is your wake-up call.  Wake up and answer God’s call.  Tell others about God’s love.  Don’t ignore God.  Wake up!  Reach the world for Jesus.
