For the second Sunday in Lent, I bring you a children’s sermon on Luke 13:31-35. (You can find my regular Monday Meditation on this text here.) The passage has two distinct sections. They do tie together as one scene, but they have different subjects, different literary styles, and very different emotional tones. The first is passion […]

This Sunday is the first Sunday of Lent, so I bring you a children’s sermon on Luke 4:1-13, the temptation of Christ. I love the story, and hope you’ll read my Monday Meditation on it here from a while back. It’s one of those texts where the details contradict every point I think I recollect […]
