children's sermon on John 15:1-8

Vineyard, CC by björn hornemann 2.0 Generic Preface for Parents and Pastors I’m bringing you this children’s sermon on John 15:1-8 because it is the Gospel assigned for the 5th Sunday after Easter in Year B of the lectionary. Why this text is assigned in the season of Easter is a bit of a mystery […]

children's sermon on Mark 16:1-8

Preface for Parents and Pastors Here’s a children’s sermon on Mark 16:1-8. That’s the Gospel text assigned by the lectionary for Easter Sunday (or the Easter Vigil) in Year B.  So why am I sending this out just before the third Sunday of Easter? Because I didn’t get it written in time. Between a looming […]

I always prefer focusing on Palm Sunday, rather than […]

children's sermon on John 2:13-22

Preface for Pastors and Parents For the third Sunday of Lent I bring you a children’s sermon on John 2:13-22. As I noted in my Monday meditation on this text, I think its odd for the lectionary to jump to John for the story of Jesus cleansing the temple. Year B is focused on Mark, and […]

children's sermon on Mark 1:9-14

Preface for Pastors and Parents Here’s a children’s sermon on Mark 1:14-20. I was too swamped with other things to write the week when this text came up on the lectionary, the 3ʳᵈ Sunday after Epiphany.  But as I write, I already have children’s sermons posted on my site for the two Gospel readings assigned […]
