children's sermon on John 14:15-25

Prelude Though it is arriving out of sequence, here is my children’s sermon on John 14:15-21. I already posted a children’s sermon on this Sunday’s Gospel text. (You can find it here; And you can find the Monday Meditation on that text here.) So this one is part of my ongoing mop-up of texts I […]

A Children’s Sermon on John 15:9-17

May 7, 2021 by Gary Neal Hansen 2 Comments

Writing a children’s sermon on John 15:9-17 is challenging in a familiar way. The text is part of a longer speech, and has no real narrative to it.  (It’s the lectionary Gospel for the 6th Sunday of Easter, year B. I wrote a meditation on it here and I wrote on this week’s epistle reading […]

John 14:15-21

On the sixth Sunday of Easter of the lectionary, the Gospel continues in the same passage as last week. John 14:15-21 The scene is the upper room on Maundy Thursday.

Monday Meditation: RCL Year C, 6th Sunday of Easter, John 5:1-9

May 23, 2019 by Gary Neal Hansen 8 Comments

John 5:1-9

Sometimes the Revised Common Lectionary offers two Gospel readings to choose from. The Sixth Sunday of Easter in Year C is one of those times. They don’t explain why, and I frankly cannot guess. I suspect it is an attempt to get me to write more blog posts. John 5:1-9 In any case, I already […]
