A Children’s Sermon on Matthew 20:1-16

September 21, 2023 by Gary Neal Hansen Leave a Comment

children's sermon on Matthew 20:1-16

The big challenge to bringing you a children’s sermon on Matthew 20:1-16 is finding a way to make it really kid friendly. In part this is just me grousing, or having a momentary failure of imagination. But like anyone who writes, I have times when I know what I have to write but I find […]

A Children’s Sermon on Matthew 18:15-20

children's sermon on Matthew 18:15-20

Here’s a children’s sermon on Matthew 18:15-20 for Proper 18(23) of lectionary Year A. I’m glad to be back writing for you, though it was also lovely to take August off. Taking that break means I have a few gaps in the series of children’s sermons on the Gospel readings of Year A. I’ll catch […]

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 Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30

children's sermon on Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30

Here’s my children’s sermon on Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30. As I write, this is the text for next Sunday — “Proper 9(14)” for Year A in the Revised Common Lectionary. The passage is a bit of a hodgepodge, really. Jesus rants a bit about the contrasting styles of himself and John the Baptist, as well as […]
