children's sermon on John 18:33-37

It is “Christ the king” this Sunday, or “The Reign of Christ,” so I offer you a children’s sermon on John 18:33-37. (You can find my regular Monday Meditation on this text here.) Next week Advent begins—a whole new year for the church. Most of our Gospel texts will be from Luke. (If you’d like […]

A Children’s Sermon on Mark 12:28-34–Living God’s Way

children's sermon on Mark 12:28-34

Photo of LOVE statue, NYC (Public Domain) My children’s sermon on Mark 12:28-34 brings us into some strange lectionary territory. “Mark 12?” you ask. “Last week we were on Mark 10! What happened to Mark 11?” That, gentle reader, is exactly my point. We spent four weeks cruising happily through Mark 10, skipping only four […]

Mercy — A Children’s Sermon on Mark 10:46-52

children's sermon on Mark 10:46-52

Blind People Sign, Belfast (CC by Albert Bridge-SA 2.0) Sitting down to write a children’s sermon on Mark 10:46-52, I have to say it’s just the kind of text I find easiest to work with: a single story that makes a solid central point.
