Dirt

For grow groups tonight, I came up with a little ditty. Feel free to use this anybody! :)

Ingredients needed: 3 tables (or more depending on your size), a pile of dirt for each table, and two cups of water for each table.

Directions: divide your group into 3 (or more) groups. Each group has 20 minutes to create something. Anything. Using only the pile of dirt and the two cups of water (you can use the cups too). What each group makes is totally up to them, 100% open ended. (Tonight, our 3 groups came up with a guitar, a tower, and the apple logo).

Idea: Even if the winning group creates something extremely cool looking, it's still not going to be that impressive, considering it's just dirt. However, when God was given a pile of dirt, he created much more. He created human life and breathed life into man (Gen. 2:7). We have a pile of dirt, and it's still a pile of dirt. Taking it a step further, when we are just a body, it's like we're just dirt, until God breathes His breath into our lives (His spirit).

In essence, we're nothing compared to Him and His greatness. That being said, too many times we consider our small problems, and think God isn't big enough to solve them. What's wrong with that picture? Think about how God formed you and how great He is. Always know that He's big enough to change the world, yet cares enough for your every day problems.
