A Children’s Sermon on Luke 24:36-48

April 15, 2021 by Gary Neal Hansen 4 Comments

a children's sermon on Luke 24:36-48

I’m back with a children’s sermon on Luke 24:36-48, for the 3rd Sunday of Easter. A year ago I was writing a children’s sermon each week here on the old blog, supplementing my “Monday Meditation” on the week’s lectionary Gospel. Well, what with pandemic malaise and a few other issues I slipped out of the […]

1 John 3:1-7 — 3rd Sunday of Easter, Year B

1 John 3:1-7

1 John 3:1-7 In Year B of the Revised Common Lectionary, the epistle reading through Easter season is 1 John. On the Third Sunday of Easter, we have 1 John 3:1-7 — we’ve skipped most of chapter 2, alas. (I wrote on this week’s Gospel, Luke 24:36b-48, a while back. Find it by clicking here.) […]

A Children’s Sermon on Luke 24:13-35 — The Walk to Emmaus

April 25, 2020 by Gary Neal Hansen 5 Comments

This children’s sermon on Luke 24:13-35 is a bit long, to be quite honest. But the story of Cleophas and the unnamed disciple meeting Jesus on the road to Emmaus, and again at table in the breaking of the bread, is so lovely I wanted to tell it all. And I suspect that if a […]

Monday Meditation: RCL Year A, Easter 3, Luke 24:13-35

How do you go deep?

Luke 24:13-35 I love this Sunday’s Gospel text. To me, among all the resurrection appearances in the Gospels, Luke 24:13-35 evokes something of the way you and I still encounter the risen Christ. (By the way, you can see my children’s sermon on this text through this link.) Two disciples on a walk to Emmaus, […]

Monday Meditation — RCL Year B, 3rd Sunday of Easter, Luke 24:36b–48

April 9, 2018 by Gary Neal Hansen 4 Comments

Luke 24:36b–48; John 20:19-31

The similarities between the four evangelists when recounting the the resurrection encounters can make it hard to keep the stories straight. Next Sunday’s passage of Luke (Luke 24:36b–48) bears echoes of last Sunday’s pair of encounters in John, first without Thomas and then with him. Luke 24:36b–48 Once I get my bearings, I note four […]
