Mercy — A Children’s Sermon on Mark 10:46-52

October 21, 2021 by Gary Neal Hansen 2 Comments

children's sermon on Mark 10:46-52

Blind People Sign, Belfast (CC by Albert Bridge-SA 2.0) Sitting down to write a children’s sermon on Mark 10:46-52, I have to say it’s just the kind of text I find easiest to work with: a single story that makes a solid central point. It’s kind of a relief after so many twisty-turny texts patched […]

Asking Favors — A Children’s Sermon on Mark 10:35-45

October 14, 2021 by Gary Neal Hansen Leave a Comment

children's sermon on Mark 10:35-45

My children’s sermon on Mark 10:35-45 has taken longer than I’d intended. It’s a complicated week.  The good news is that this week’s lectionary Gospel is one coherent story with some funny bits. (You can find my ‘Monday Meditation’ on the same passage here.) At least they are funny to me. You never know with the […]

A Children’s Sermon on Mark 10:17-31

children's sermon on Mark 10:17-31

Writing this children’s sermon on Mark 10:17-31 was really interesting.  Unlike so many lectionary selections, it hangs together as an exploration of a single theme. The challenge is that the theme is pretty grown up.  (You can see what I wrote about it for grown-ups in my Monday Meditation on this text here.) I don’t […]

A Children’s Sermon on Mark 10:2-16 — Jesus Loves Children

children's sermon on Mark 10:2-16

Somebody is going to accuse me of wimping out in my children’s sermon on Mark 10:2-16. I’m skipping all the hard stuff and dealing only with the easy part. (You can see my regular Monday Meditation on this passage, which is mostly on the divorce stuff, by clicking here.)  I’m skipping Jesus’ public conversation with […]

A Children’s Sermon on Mark 9:38-50 — Self-Harm?

children's sermon on Mark 9:38-50

Kids’ Feet on Fish Hoek Beach (CC by MyAngelG 2.0) Writing a children’s sermon on Mark 9:38-50 presents both a very typical challenge and a more unusual one. (If you want to see my regular “Monday Meditation” on this passage, you can find it here.) As is pretty typical, the lectionary gives us a chunk of […]
