Writing a children’s sermon on Luke 16:1-13 ought to be easy, right? I mean, it’s a parable. Jesus tells a story. I love the parables! But then I look and see what kind of parable of is. Parables almost always contain some twists once you dig in to them. But this one? My oh my. […]

My, how nice it is to be back with you, writing a children’s sermon on Luke 14:25-33! I’ve been away for a few months due to a short-term pastoral assignment and a family move. Now we’re settled (sort of) and I’m back in action. If you had come to depend on my children’s sermons, please […]
