A Children’s Sermon on John 6:35 & 41-51

August 3, 2021 by Gary Neal Hansen 6 Comments

children's sermon on John 6:35 & 41-51

The Last Supper, Juan de Juanez (public domain) Writing a children’s sermon on John 6:35 & 41-51 is challenging the way much of John’s Gospel is challenging. That’s the lectionary Gospel for “Proper 14(19)” in Year B. I wrote a meditation on it a while back that you can see here. It’s part of a […]

A Children’s Sermon on John 6:24-35 — Questions and Answers

July 26, 2021 by Gary Neal Hansen Leave a Comment

children's sermon on John 6:24-35

My children’s sermon on John 6:24-35 is the second in a series. The lectionary spends five weeks in John chapter 6, where Jesus does things and says things about bread. Some of it is material bread. Some of it is metaphorical bread. But it’s all bread, all the time. (I have a regular meditation on […]

A Children’s Sermon on John 6:1-21

children's sermon on 6:1-21

When I set out to write a children’s sermon on John 6:1-21, the first thing I have to do is get over myself.  If you haven’t picked it up from reading my children’s sermons, and the meditations on the Gospel texts from the last three years, I often think the lectionary is kind of odd.  […]

A Children’s Sermon on Mark 6:30-34, 53-56

children's sermon on Mark 6:30-34, 53-56

It’s kind of funny writing a children’s sermon on Mark 6:30-34, 53-56. It’s as if the lectionary gave us a sandwich with nothing but the bread.  A couple weeks ago I referred to “sandwich stories” where Mark cuts one story in two and sticks another in the middle like the tuna fish between the slices […]

A Children’s Sermon on Mark 6:14-29–Grown-Ups Behaving Badly

July 5, 2021 by Gary Neal Hansen 2 Comments

children's sermon on Mark 6:14-29

Think of this children’s sermon on Mark 6:14-29 as kind of experimental. Pretend even. It is a text I’d more likely avoid, rejoicing that the lectionary also provides Old Testament and Epistle readings.  (You can read my Monday Meditation on this text here.) But here on my blog I’m happy to see what I can […]
