A Children’s Sermon on Mark 8:27-38 — Being Mad and Still Loving

September 7, 2021 by Gary Neal Hansen 8 Comments

children's sermon on Mark 8:27-38

Scream and Shout (cc by Mindaugas Danys 2.0) I found it more than usually challenging to find a good place to dig in for a children’s sermon on Mark 8:27-38. That’s the lectionary Gospel for Proper 19(24) in Year B. (You can find my regular meditation on it here.) It consists of three interrelated scenes, […]

A Children’s Sermon on Mark 7:24-37 — Loving People Different from You

August 30, 2021 by Gary Neal Hansen 8 Comments

children's sermon on Mark 7:24-37

Writing a children’s sermon on Mark 7:24-37 present both ordinary challenges and unusual ones.  (You can find my regular Monday Meditation on this passage here.) On the ordinary side, a children’s sermon on Mark 7:24-37 has to decide what to do with two separate stories. I’m a firm believer that a children’s sermon needs to […]

A Children’s Sermon on Mark 7:1-23

children's sermon on Mark 7:1-23

Writing a children’s sermon on Mark 7:1-23 (or the shortened version assigned by the lectionary, Mark 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23) presents me with some dilemmas.  (You can find my regular meditation on this passage here.) Telling this story to a grown-up, say someone who had never read the Gospels or heard them in church, requires a […]

August 17, 2021 by Gary Neal Hansen 8 Comments

children's sermon on John 6:56-59

Well, with a children’s sermon on John 6:56-69 we come to the end of the lectionary’s five-week journey though this chapter. (You can read my regular meditation on this passage here.) Perhaps the hard thing about a children’s sermon on John 6:56-69 is just that fact: we’ve been talking about this chapter, with it’s many aspects […]

A Children’s Sermon on John 6:51-58–The Bread of Life

August 9, 2021 by Gary Neal Hansen 10 Comments

children's sermon on John 6:51-58

As I write this children’s sermon on John 6:51-58 I am acutely aware that it is part of a series. In “Year B” the Revised Common Lectionary gives churches five weeks in a row traveling through John 6. (You can see my regular meditation on this passage here.) My first thought on every one of […]
