Think of this children’s sermon on Mark 6:14-29 as kind of experimental. Pretend even. It is a text I’d more likely avoid, rejoicing that the lectionary also provides Old Testament and Epistle readings. (You can read my Monday Meditation on this text here.)

Mission Trip–A Children’s Sermon on Mark 6:1-13
Narranca Elementary Local Mission Trip (cc by Existence Church 2.0) This week: a children’s sermon on Mark 6:1-13 — Jesus’ friends go on their first mission trip.

In 2020 I did a children’s sermon on Acts 2:1-12, the most important Pentecost text. (If you want to see my grown-ups meditation on this text, here’s a link.) For […]
