4701. Time Out

John 12:1-11

Sermon

Robert Beringer

... the fact that our Lord lived a very busy and challenging life. Everywhere he went, the crowds followed him. Many people sought his help both day and night. Like many people in our time, Jesus lived with a grueling schedule and lots of pressure. But a careful reading of the gospels reveals that Jesus knew the wisdom of taking "time out" in his busy life for rest, relaxation, and renewal. Most often, that "time out" happened when Jesus visited the home of his friends Mary, Martha and Lazarus in the village of ...

4702. It Will Be Heaven

Romans 8:18

Children's Sermon

Wesley T. Runk

... and sisters and the whole family lived in an apartment that had only two bedrooms! Usually, there was barely enough food to go around so you can imagine how hungry Sarah and her family would get! One day, Sarah became very sick with a fever. Her dad tried to take care of her but she just got sicker and sicker. He finally took her to a big clinic in the city where a doctor was able to examine her. The doctor took one look at her and knew she was very sick, so he told Sarah's father that she would ...

4703. The Witness Of Pilate

Drama

Dann J. Ettner

... fact that Jesus thought He was a kingof another world. It was this statement of being a king which was repeated bythe Jews as a just reason for Jesus' death. Now I have beengovernor in Judea too long to be taken by that line. The Jewishleaders could care less that Jesus was calling Himself king. Theyonly used that as leverage before me. I saw no harm in havingthis insignificant carpenter say He was a king of another world.It may have shown some ignorance on His part but it certainly wasnot reason enough to ...

4704. What Do You Do With Dust?

Psalm 115:16

Children's Sermon

Kenneth Mortonson

... to look nice, if we want to be able to move about, we need to do our part to remove the "dust" of life. And you can help. When you see something that needs to be put away or picked up, do it. Don't expect someone else to take care of it. When each person does his or her part, we will all live in a cleaner, nicer church and home and world. Now, as you go back to your family, see if you can remember what I have just said. (Throw out pieces of paper to see if any ...

4705. The Witness Of The Centurion

Drama

Dann J. Ettner

... to show a calm,almost loving, spirit toward us, His executioners. First therewere His words, "Father, forgive them, for they know not whatthey do." Can you imagine why anyone would want his executionersforgiven? He was an extraordinary man. He even made sure that Hismother was cared for as He assigned a friend to take her as hisown. This Jesus was even able to change the attitude of one of theother criminals who was hanging on a cross next to Him. Jesussaid that this man would be in paradise with Him. I ...

4706. The Tenth Meal

Sermon

Robert F. Scott

Broiled FishLuke 24:36-43 Worship Focus A platter with a whole broiled fish fillet or a baked whole fish would be ideal. Someone in the congregation may have a mounted or wooden fish as a wall decoration, and that would be easier to take care of. A piece of comb honey, though not in the newer translations, would pick up the line from Ezra Pound's poem. A Litany For The Tenth Meal Leader: Gracious God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we praise you for the glorious resurrection of the Christ, our Savior. ...

4707. He Is ALIVE!

Mt 28:1-8 · Mk 16:1-13 · Lk 24:1-12 · Jn 20:1-18

Children's Sermon

Robert B. Lantz

... Jesus is alive. But often, like the early followers, they don't really understand what that means. I want you young people to try to understand what the story of Easter really means to you and me today. If Jesus is really alive, as we believe He is, then He cares for us today. We can talk to him and know his presence with us no matter where we are or what we are doing. If He is alive, He is able to hear our prayers and send his Holy Spirit to us to confirm our faith. And most importantly, the ...

4708. The Shepherd King

Psalm 23:1-6

Children's Sermon

Robert B. Lantz

... know that Psalms is a songbook. It would be helpful to have a Bible handy to turn to and leaf through the book of Psalms.) In his songs, David sang praises to God. He sang about God's creation, God's love, God's majesty, and about how God took care of him. We do that same thing in some of the hymns and songs we sing today, don't we? One of the best known of David's songs is one that I believe he wrote while he was on that hillside as a young boy on Israel. Do you ...

4709. Vine And Branches

Jn 15:1-11 · Gal 5:22-23

Children's Sermon

Robert B. Lantz

Object: Fresh red or purple grapes or stickers Good morning, boys and girls. While I was living in New Zealand, I was provided a home for the length of my stay that had beautiful gardens around it. I was asked to care for the gardens by the home owner. Beside the garage there was a nice grapevine. Since it was springtime, the fruit was beginning to form on the vine. As I had little experience with growing grapes in the past, I had to be instructed in how to tend the vines. ( ...

4710. Living Our Lives On The Edge

Leviticus 19:1-37

Sermon

Paul E. Robinson

... when they were wandering in the wilderness themselves after they escaped from Egypt, and had nothing to eat. The Lord called them to think beyond themselves, and to be grateful for the abundance of food and goods that was theirs, that those less fortunate might be cared for. It was sort of the welfare system of their day. Remember Jesus' parable of the rich man whose harvest one year was so enormous that he decided to tear down the barns he had and build bigger ones to hold it all? Luke records the ...

4711. With All Your Heart

1 Peter 1:8

Children's Sermon

Wesley T. Runk

... you looked like? (Let them answer.) That's right. Before you were born, before they knew whether you would be a boy or a girl, they got everything ready for you -- your crib, your new little clothes and diapers and all of the things that would be needed to take care of you. They really loved you even before you were born. That is how we love God. Some day we will see him, won't we? When will we see God, boys and girls? (Let them answer.) That's right. When we die and go to heaven, we will meet ...

4712. The Ransom Is Paid

1 Peter 1:18

Children's Sermon

Wesley T. Runk

... Do you like having money, boys and girls? (Let them answer.) Most people like to have money. In fact, we all need money to pay for food and clothing and lots of other things we use every day. People work hard just so they can get money to take care of their families. Money is also used for some other kinds of things, boys and girls. Sometimes kidnappers ask for lots of money. Do you know what a kidnapper is? (Let them answer.) That's right. A kidnapper is a person who takes people away from their homes and ...

4713. Little Red Hat

1 Peter 5:8

Children's Sermon

Wesley T. Runk

... call her "Little Red Hat." Well, one day Little Red Hat's mother asked her to go and visit her grandmother who was very sick. Now the grandmother lived in the woods about a half an hour from Little Red Hat's house. Her mother told her to be very careful, and most of all, not to leave the path that went through the woods. So Little Red Hat started off, and whom do you think she met on the way? (Let them answer.) That's right. She met a big bad wolf who was just hoping he might find a ...

4714. The Girl With The Curl

Romans 11:32

Children's Sermon

Wesley T. Runk

... where her mom and dad and brother were waiting. They were very worried because she had been gone so long. Even Tom had been worried. All Tina could do was cry and cry. Finally, she told them what she'd done; she was so miserable that she didn't even care if she got punished. But her brother Tom put his arms around her, and then her father said, "Tina, you can earn some money to help buy Tom another bike. But we are just so glad that you are safe." Tina couldn't believe her ears. Boys and girls, that ...

4715. A Friend Indeed

1 Corinthians 1:9

Children's Sermon

Wesley T. Runk

... . What do you suppose Billy's parents did when they found out about Billy's bad deeds, boys and girls? (Let them answer.) Yes, they punished Billy, and told him that he would have to earn the money to pay for new tires or hubcaps. But Billy didn't care. He kept right on doing bad things, which was why people called him "Bad-Boy Billy." One day Billy did something that was much worse than anything he had ever done before. Some older guys invited him to go along with them to rob a store. They thought that ...

4716. Summer Fun

Proverbs 17:17

Children's Sermon

Kenneth Mortonson

... to send a message to someone. If you cannot write, draw a picture; you might even do both. The important thing is that you want to let this other person know that you are thinking about him or her. One of the ways we have of showing people that we care about them is to share something with them. In the summer, you can share with your friends as you play with them or do other things together. But it is also important to share your life with people who are away from you. Summer is a good time to think ...

4717. What Do You Do When You Get Hurt?

Psalm 103:3

Children's Sermon

Kenneth Mortonson

Purpose: To show children that we have a responsibility to do what we can to take care of ourselves. After we have done all we can, then we must leave the rest in God's hands. Material: A box of bandage strips that contains the number you need to give one to each child. Lesson: Have any of you ever hurt yourself? ... What happened? ... (Let the children ...

4718. Learning Obedience

Acts 5:32

Children's Sermon

Kenneth Mortonson

... Wisconsin. Finally, she did come back to her home in Illinois, but she had a cut on her face and her paws were very sore from all the ice and snow. She could have been saved from those injuries if she had just listened to the people who were taking care of her when they called her to come home, but she wanted to do things her own way. One of the important things about learning to obey is that we have to believe that whoever is telling us what to do has our best interest in mind. You know this ...

4719. The Kite And The Sailboat

Romans 8:28-39

Children's Sermon

Teresa L. Major

... . But there is something we can do about our attitudes when bad things happen. Let me tell you a story. Jerry spent all day working on his sailboat. He had built it piece by piece, all by himself. It had taken him a long time to paint it and to carefully put on the sails. He was so proud of his work. But now the paint was dry and the sailboat was finished and Jerry could hardly wait to go to the park and sail his boat in the lake. Jerry arrived at the park and searched for the best place ...

4720. The Right Thing To Do

Psalm 119:1-3

Children's Sermon

Teresa L. Major

... to do. Is that right? Why do we have rules? (Children respond.) Ah, we have rules to make us behave a certain way. One more question, why should we obey the rules? (Children respond. Undoubtedly, you will hear, "We obey the rules so we won't get in trouble." Listen carefully to hear, "We obey the rules because it is the right thing to do." If the children do not come up with this answer, be sure to supply it.) There seem to be two main reasons that we obey rules. The first reason is we don't want to get ...

4721. Discrimination

Galatians 3:28

Children's Sermon

Teresa L. Major

... the right to treat anyone else unfairly because of looks. You have been good sports this morning. If you did not get a present earlier, you may have one now because you are all special to God and to me, no matter what you look like. This week, be very careful not to treat anyone unfairly just because they look different. God bless you.

4722. God, The Recycler

2 Corinthians 5:17

Children's Sermon

Teresa L. Major

... ? Can people be recycled? That sounds like a strange question, doesn't it, but did you know that, in a way, people can be recycled? We do all sorts of things that make trash out of our lives. We tell lies and cheat and we hurt ourselves by not taking care of our bodies. We hurt other people and we hurt God. We ignore the things that God has tried to teach us. We live the way we want instead of the way God wants, and soon our lives have been wasted. They are like trash, good for nothing. But God ...

4723. False Advertising

Matthew 23:1-39

Children's Sermon

Teresa L. Major

... fly it! But when you got home from the store and tried to fly your plane, it would only go a little way before it fell to the ground. The commercial had only told part of the truth. Sometimes they are not completely honest with us. We have to be careful with commercials; sometimes, they stretch the truth. Did you know that we are like commercials for God? It's true. When people know that we love, trust, and follow God, they watch us as if we were commercials. They see us go to church and sing hymns and pray ...

4724. Believing What God Says

Genesis 6:1-8:22

Children's Sermon

Teresa L. Major

... not. I was almost late because I kept turning off the alarm until I ran out of time. What if you read in a magazine that you could get rich if you sent someone all the money you had? Would you believe that? I hope not. You have to be careful about what you read and hear; not everything is the truth. You can't believe everything you read or hear unless God says it. People might try to trick us or they may even tell us lies, but if God says it, we can believe it. Do you know the ...

4725. How Much Protection Do You Have?

Psalm 119:9-11

Children's Sermon

Teresa L. Major

... At least one bottle of sunscreen or suntan lotion with the SPF plainly visible. Several bottles with differing SPF's would be helpful. Do you know what this stuff is? (Children respond.) It's sunscreen. We used to call this suntan lotion, but now we don't care so much about getting a tan as we do about protecting ourselves from the sun. What does sunscreen do? (Children respond. Offer help if necessary.) It keeps us from getting burned by the sun. We spread it all over our bodies before we go outside and it ...
