A Children’s Sermon on Mark 14:17-25 — World Communion Sunday

October 5, 2024 by Gary Neal Hansen 2 Comments

children's sermon on Mark 14:17-25 -- World Communion Sunday

Preface for Pastors and Parents This children’s sermon on Mark 14:17-25 is another “bonus” — that is, it goes beyond my primary goal of writing a children’s sermon for every Gospel reading assigned in the Revised Common Lectionary. I’m sending it out just now because, as I write, this Sunday is “World Communion Sunday.” Many […]

A New Children’s Sermon on Mark 8:27-38 — Saving Your Soul?

September 23, 2024 by Gary Neal Hansen 2 Comments

Preface for Pastors and Parents This is a new children’s sermon on Mark 8:27-38. I did one before. (You can find it here) That seems possibly appropriate, since in Year B of the Revised Common Lectionary most of this text (verses 31-38) comes up twice: first on the 2nd Sunday of Lent, and then, in […]

A Children’s Sermon on Mark 14:12-16 — Getting Ready for the Passover

children's sermon on Mark 14:12-16

Preface for Pastors and Parents This children’s sermon on Mark 14:12-16 is another bonus one. This passage is included in the long Passion narrative assigned by the Revised Common Lectionary for Palm Sunday (aka Passion Sunday). But, as with several other parts of that big story, this sort of stands on its own. I think […]

A Children’s Sermon on Mark 14:3-9 — The Anointing at Bethany

children's sermon on Mark 14:3-9 -- Anointing at Bethany

Preface for Pastors and Parents This children’s sermon on Mark 14:3-9 is sort of a bonus. My main plan is to do children’s sermons on all the Gospel texts assigned in the Revised Common Lectionary. This text is part of the grand sweeping Passion story assigned for the beginning of Holy Week — Mark 14:1-15:47. […]

A Children’s Sermon on Mark 14:1-15:47 — The Passion

August 17, 2024 by Gary Neal Hansen Leave a Comment

children's sermon on Mark 14:1-15:47

Preface for Pastors and Parents The last two times we’ve been through Year B of the lectionary I’ve hesitated to write a children’s sermon on Mark 14:1-15:47. That’s the entire passion story which is assigned as the Gospel reading on what most of us think of as “Palm Sunday.”  (I’m writing this in a week […]
