Objects needed: A loaf of bread with a wrapper you can see through, a box of crackers, a nut in the shell, a small box with gumballs in it.

What is faith? Faith is believing and trusting.

1) Hold up bread. What do you think is in this bag? Bread? Why do you think it's bread? Because the bag says bread? Because you can see the bread though the bag? Are you sure there is bread in here? Do you have faith there is bread in here? Open the bread and give each child a piece to taste to confirm it is bread.

2) Hold up a box of crackers. What do you think is in here? Crackers? Why do you think there are crackers in here? Because it has a picture of crackers on the box? Do you have faith there are crackers in here? Do you think someone might have put something else in this box? You may have doubt there are really crackers in here doubt is the opposite of faith. Do you have faith there are crackers in here? Open the box and give each child a cracker to taste and verify they are indeed crackers.

3) Hold up the nut. What do you think is in here? A nut? How do you know? You can't see in it. It doesn't say anything on the outside. Are you absolutely sure there is a nut in there? Are you confident? Do you have faith there is a nut in this shell? Crack the shell and give the nut to one of the children to eat and confirm it is a nut. (Make sure you give it to a child that DOES NOT HAVE ALLERGIES TO NUTS!)

4) Hold up the small box with gumballs and shake it. What do you think is in here? This is a little harder. It could be almost anything. Ask an adult who has already been supplied with the information of what's in the box. There are gumballs in here. Do you believe there are eight in here? Are you positive? Do you have faith there are in fact, gumballs in here? Open the box and pass out the gumballs to the children to try.

Faith is truly believing and trusting. The bible is God’s word. We can always trust what the Bible says. Sometimes people are wrong, but the bible never is. We should have faith in the word of God.
