Meet Eggbert
Once upon a time, there was a town called EGGville, and it was full of Egg Citizens. They lived simple lives, much like we do, except they rolled everywhere they went. But all was not perfect in EGGville. For you see, there was a legend. It was always whispered, and known around EGGville as "The Legend of the Hammer." It went something like this: "There is an evil hammer that lurks in the dark in EGGville, and if an Egg ever finds itself all alone the hammer may strike and squash the Egg." Whenever an Egg was found cracked or flattened - the Evil Hammer was always given the credit, though no one really knew whether it even existed.
We met some of the citizens from EGGville, and witnessed how they fell into the trap of the hammer. Some of them were into fame, power, pride, money and even food. We talked about how there are a lot of things in this world that are not 'sinful' in and of themselves, BUT if they become the most important thing in our life, they will ultimately destroy us, and cause us to miss out on God's Best!
We then met EGGbert, EGGbert decides that he will be smart, and hides under a metal pot. The hammer comes and bangs and bangs on the metal pot, but EGGbert is safe inside. Col. 3:3 talks about how we are 'hidden in Christ' when we are saved, so the Enemy can't defeat us. All of the things that led to the other Eggs end were not all evil things - but if they become #1 they become sin because they replace what should be #1 -> GOD! EGGbert lives happily ever after.
Each child then got an egg of their own to decorate as an egg person and had to come up with something in their life that although is not sinful if they allowed it to become #1 could distract them from God. Then one by one they got to come up front and smash the egg with the hammer.
