Dr. Raymond Bailey

... ," but I am a saint, not because of what I have done, but because the Master, in His work on the cross, made me holy. Nope -- I guess you could say that I had a lot of "ol' Nick" in me. Why, I remember the time -- aah, maybe it's just as well that we ... -- the same man who cowered before the maid in the inn, and denied his Lord.

Bulletin Aid

Jack Brownlee

... How can a weak God be the strength of Israel?" "Mother," Sarah asked, "the woman who found the coin and had a party; would she not have spent more on the party than on the coin?" "I guess what the Rabbi meant ..." "He is not a Rabbi," Father's voice interrupted, breaking Mother's thought. "I guess what the Nazarene meant was that the joy in finding something is often worth more than what had actually been lost." Sarah, obviously confused by the events of the day again asked, "If happiness is more important ...

Luke 11:1-13

Sermon

W. Robert McClelland

... She keeps in close touch with the family. Not by writing letters, of course. She always calls long distance. Collect! She usually begins her conversations on the phone with, "Hey Dad, guess what!" The liturgy calls for the response, "What?" And then she will disclose the latest episode in her marvelous life adventure. She called the other evening. "Hey, Dad, guess what!" "What?" I said dutifully. "Over spring break all the kids are going to Hawaii. I'd like to go too. Can I? And will you spring for the air ...

Mark A. Hultquist

... at each of these and tell me what you think they will become when the water is added. (Show the sample bags one at a time and allow the children to speculate on what each one will become. Give the correct answers when they have finished guessing.) Some of those were pretty hard to guess weren't they? Can you believe they turn from this (show bags again) to something we eat! Now let me ask you something else about them. Do you think we can turn them back again? After the water is added and all the necessary ...

But that hole in the screen reminds me of something else that I want to share with you. I guess you know that God made a perfect world. He made it so perfect that there was no sin.

Sermon

Erskine White

... , but in spite of all our conversation, neither of us were prepared for what lay ahead. I mean: everything about this birth was hard!

Mary's labor wore on into the night, and any ...

Ephesians 2:14

Children's Sermon

... and no farther and the other person's land was on the other side of the fence. (Show the picture of the Great Wall of China.) This is the longest fence ever built.

Instead of pretty wrapping paper, this present was wrapped in swaddling clothes. Have you guessed what God's special present was? (Let them respond.) You guessed that God's special present was Jesus. God kept Jesus as a special surprise for all of God's children. That present of Jesus is for each of us.

Luke 24:36-49

Children's Sermon

... the story of Jesus reappearing among his friends. Discuss how they thought they were seeing things. Lay the cards on a table or hold them up one by one.

After a little guessing has taken place, hold up one shape at a time and hold up the outside of the original picture in place over the cut out shape. The children will have fun "seeing things."

Children's Sermon

... the rulers were better than the people were, so they got on their knees to honor the ruler and show the ruler that the people knew how great the ruler was. You can all sit back down now.

John M. Braaten

He tried hard to hide the tears which would well up inside him but everyone knew of the anguish, even if they could not understand. As you might guess, resentment in our town continued to grow toward the boy. We all agreed that Eli and Rachel were much better off without Judah.

John 7:45--8:11

Sermon

John M. Braaten
