children's sermon on Luke 24:1-12

Preface for Pastors and Parents For Easter I bring you a children’s sermon on Luke 24:1-12. That’s one of the two Gospel readings on the lectionary for Easter in year C. I wrote a children’s sermon for the other choice, John 20:1-18, a while back. (You can find it here.) One of the fascinating things […]

I’m writing and posting this early in Holy Week. […]

April 15, 2019 by Gary Neal Hansen 4 Comments

Luke 24:1-12

Luke 24:1-12 The lectionary Gospel for Easter is Luke 24:1-12. (John 20:1-18 is always listed as an alternative, but this is Luke’s year, so we have an option from his Gospel.) Caring Friends The women planned carefully, but there was no rush. Jesus, after all, had been dead since Friday afternoon. Faithful to God’s command, […]
