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 […]
A Children’s Sermon on Mark 1:9-15 — Lent 1
Preface for Pastors and Parents Below you’ll find a children’s sermon on Mark 1:9-15, the Gospel assigned for the first Sunday in Lent for year B of the lectionary.

It’s a beautiful text. The only trouble is that it has four distinct parts, and I […]
