Have you ever been angry before? I sure have! (Tell a personal story about when you got angry).

It is so easy for us to get angry when things don’t go just the way we want them to.  Maybe you get angry when someone says something mean to you?  The bible says in Ephesians 4:6 that it is okay to get angry, but it is not okay to sin.

(Take one of the balloons and hold it up)

This balloon is going to represent you.  You wake up in the morning and you are getting ready to go so you go to grab yourself some of your favorite cereal but then you notice that it is all gone!  (Blow up the balloon a little).  Then you get on your bike to take a bike ride and you realize that your tire is flat.  (Blow more into the balloon).  You see one of your friends but instead of greeting you he points at you and starts to laugh.  (Blow it up the rest of the way and then tie it off).

Many times instead of giving their anger to God we let it built up inside of us almost to the point where we feel like we are going to pop.  Then your mom comes and asks your to clean up your room.  (Pop the balloon with the needle).  BAM!  You get mad and start yelling and dishonoring your mother.  You were angry, but not you have exploded and started to sin.

(Take out the other balloon).

Instead of letting it all build up when something bad happened you should give it to God.  (Blow up the second balloon).  Then pray and ask God to help you to handle it better.  (Let all the air out)  Maybe something else gets you upset.  (Blow the balloon up again).  But you remember that God does not want us to sin when we are angry.  (Let the air out again).

Sticks and stones
May break my bones
But words
Will never hurt me.

 We have all heard this rhyme, and although it sounds kind of cute, it’s really not true at all!  Words do hurt.  If someone says something rude to you or lies about you, you may smile on the outside and try to look tough, but on the inside it hurts a lot!  It feel like a nail has been gaming driven straight into you.

(Take out the board and nail a nail into it).

Each time someone says something hurtful it is like driving another nail into you. (Drive another nail).

Maybe sometimes you get angry and say something mean or hurtful to someone else.  Guess what that is doing?  That is like driving a online game nail into them.  (Drive another nail).

Sure, sticks and stones may break our bones, but words can certainly hurt you!  (Drive another nail).

(Hold up the board with the nails in it).

The sad thing is that many people go through life with all of these nails stuck in them.  They don’t go away very easily.  Maybe is something a parent said, or a friend, or a teacher that still bothers you years and years later.

Only through God’s help and being willing to forgive other can these nails be taken out.

(Take out all of the nails and then hold up the board).
