A Children’s Sermon on Luke 13:1-9

March 17, 2022 by Gary Neal Hansen 2 Comments

children's sermon on Luke 13:1-9

We are coming up to the third Sunday of Lent, so I bring you a children’s sermon on Luke 13:1-9. (You can find my regular Monday Meditation on the same text here.) Like last week, this passage has two very different parts. The first half is a snarky conversation between Jesus and some folks who […]

A Children’s Sermon on Luke 13:31-35

children's sermon on Luke 13:31-35

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 […]

A Children’s Sermon on Luke 4:1-13 — The Temptation of Christ

children's sermon on Luke 4:1-13

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 […]

A Children’s Sermon on Luke 9:28-36–The Transfiguration

February 22, 2022 by Gary Neal Hansen Leave a Comment

children's sermon on Luke 9:28-36

It’s Transfiguration Sunday this week, so here’s my children’s sermon on Luke 9:28-36. (You can find my regular Monday Meditation on this passage here.)  The lectionary makes the next section of the chapter an optional extended version of the reading. I’m opting not to include it. Since it’s Transfiguration Sunday, the first part is crucial. […]

A Children’s Sermon on Luke 6:27-38

February 15, 2022 by Gary Neal Hansen 4 Comments

children's sermon on Luke 6:27-38

Here’s my children’s sermon on Luke 6:27-38 for the Seventh Sunday after Epiphany. (You can see my regular “Monday Meditation” on this text here.) It’s a chunk of “the Sermon on the Plain,” more famously known in Matthew’s version as “the Sermon on the Mount.”  The challenge of this text for me is that my […]
