\"pumpkin3.jpg\"In Athens, Paul was disturbed by the culture around him. (Acts 17:16). But instead of coming against it, he used things from that culture to present the gospel. (Acts 17:22-31).<\/p>\n

Materials<\/strong>
\n1. A pumpkin (instructions for preparing it are below)
\n2. A candle or flashlight to go inside the pumpkin
\n3. Lighter or matches if you are using a candle
\n4. A large knife (not sharp, it is for effect).
\n5. Some mud or clay dirt
\n6. A damp cloth
\n7. A cloth large enough to cover the pumpkin<\/p>\n

Preparation<\/strong>
\n1. Cutting carefully so that you can set it back in place, cut the top from the pumpkin.
\n2. Scoop out the seeds and inner membrane. Rinse, dry and save it. You may want to soak them in coffee or something similar to turn them dark. We will be returning them to the pumpkin.
\n3. Making sure to keep the cuttings on one side of the pumpkin only, cut a design into the pumpkin. You can use a traditional jack-o-lantern or some other design. Carving ‘JESUS’ into the pumpkin or carving a candle is effective. Be careful not to carry the design to the sides or back of the pumpkin as you do not want to show the cuts at the beginning of the lesson.
\n4. Put the seeds and membrane back into the pumpkin. If it is going to be over a few hours before the lesson, it would be better to put the seeds and membrane in the refrigerator until closer time.<\/p>\n

Just before the session<\/strong>
\n1. Set the pumpkin in front of you so that the carved part is toward your body. You do not want the audience to see that it has been carved.
\n2. If the seeds were refrigerated, return them to the pumpkin.
\n3. Put the top on the pumpkin matching it as good as possible so that the cut is not too obvious.
\n4. Smear a little clay or mud on the front of the pumpkin so that the audience can easily see it.
\n5. Set the other supplies (knife, light, damp cloth) where you can reach them.
\n6. Cover the pumpkin with a cloth so that it is not visible from any side when your group comes in.
\n7. PRAY<\/p>\n

The Lesson<\/strong>
\nSometimes people ask what it is like being a Christian.
\nI’d like to tell you that it is all fun and easy.<\/p>\n

But I’m a Christian.
\nI’m supposed to tell the whole truth.
\nAnd here it is.<\/p>\n

It is fun to be a Christian because I am God’s child and God loves me. And it is never too hard for me because God helps me.<\/p>\n

But sometimes it is pretty hard to be a Christian.
\n(Lift the cloth off of the pumpkin)<\/em>
\nI think I can use this pumpkin to help explain.<\/p>\n

We all start out like pumpkins.
\nWe’re out in the garden along with all the others.
\nGod is always walking through that garden asking if any of us what to belong to Him.<\/p>\n

When we say ‘yes’ to God, he picks us up out of the garden.
\n(Use damp cloth to clean the dirt off the pumpkin.)<\/em>
\nAnd he gently washes away the dirt.<\/p>\n

That feels really, really nice.
\n(Pick up the knife)<\/em>
\nBut there is more to be done.<\/p>\n

You see, dirt was not the only thing we brought with us from the garden.
\n(Pretend to cut around the top of the pumpkin)<\/em>
\nSome of what we brought back requires surgery and that can hurt.<\/p>\n

(Lift off the top.)<\/em>
\nWhile we were out there in the garden, some things grew inside us.
\n(Take out a few seeds and hold them out to be seen.)<\/em><\/p>\n

Sometimes the others were not fair to us.
\n(Take out more of the seeds)<\/em>
\nWe became angry and the seed of bitterness started to grow inside.<\/p>\n

(Continue to take out seeds as you talk)<\/em>
\nSometimes others let us down or hurt our feelings.
\nWe began to feel sorry for ourselves.
\nAnd the seeds of rejection started to grow.<\/p>\n

We try to get even with those who hurt us.
\nThe seeds of unforgiveness and violence begin to grow inside.<\/p>\n

(Remove the last of the seeds)<\/em>
\nYes, all of this cleaning up hurts a bit.
\nBut if we won’t let God clean all of this out, it gets infected.
\nAnd then we really have problems.<\/p>\n

Christians who won’t let God clean out all the junk from the pumpkin patch are really miserable.
\nThey have spiritual infections and they can spread them to others.
\n(Wipe the inside with the cloth)<\/em><\/p>\n

(Pretend to make a few cuts with the knife on your side of the pumpkin)<\/em>
\nI’m learning to hold really still and let God take care of anything that needs cleaning!
\nSure it hurts sometimes.
\nPut the light inside the pumpkin and light it
\nAnd sometimes I wonder what God is trying to do!<\/p>\n

(Turn the pumpkin around for the group to see)<\/em>
\nThen God reminds me that He has a wonderful plan for my life.
\nHe wants the beauty of Jesus to shine through me so others can see the way to Jesus.<\/p>\n

That’s what we are, you know.
\nWe are not really better than those poor pumpkins who are still in the garden.
\nWe are just a whole lot better off because Jesus has taken us out of the darkness and into His wonderful light.<\/p>\n

(Lights off)<\/em>
\nJesus said, “You are the light of the world.
\nA city on a hill can’t be hidden.
\nAlso, people do not light a lamp and put it under a bowl.
\nInstead, they put it on its stand.
\nThen it gives light to everyone in the house.
\nIn the same way, let your light shine in front of others.
\nThen they will see the good things you do.
\nAnd they will praise your Father who is in heaven.*<\/p>\n

Please pray with me.
\nFather God, thank You for asking us to be Your children.
\nFather, we want to be more like Jesus.
\nWe want others to see Your light shining in our lives.
\nHelp us to open our hearts to You.
\nTake away all our bad attitudes.
\nGive us Your light and love inside.
\nWe’re asking this in Jesus’ Name. Amen<\/p>\n
